“Rashford Is Not World Class”: Simon Jordan Refutes Rashford World Class Claims

‘talkSPORT’ pundit Simon Jordan has refuted claims that Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is a world class footballer, stating that the term is ‘thrown around’ too often.

Marcus Rashford’s form this season has been something to behold. The 25-year-old has notched 22 goals for Manchester United in all competitions, equalling his best ever season tally, and it’s only February.

The forward added another goal to his tally yesterday evening, netting the equaliser against Barcelona at the Camp Nou. He was instrumental in United’s second goal as well, as his drilled cross was turned into the net by Blaugrana defender Jules Kounde.

Since returning from the World Cup, Rashford’s form has been especially excellent. In all competitions, he has 18 goal involvements in 16 matches, netting on 14 ocassions, and assisting four times.

His form has inspired Manchester United to third place in the Premier League table, as the Red Devils sit just five points behind Manchester City and Arsenal.

They also remain in the FA Cup, and are also in the EFL Cup final, where they take on Newcastle United at Wembley in nine days time.

Due to his incredible form, some fans and pundits have claimed that the Englishman is world class, with some saying that the he is one of the best forwards in the world at the minute.

One person who has refuted these claims however, is talkSPORT pundit Simon Jordan.

Simon Jordan’s Comments

“Marcus Rashford is in this ridiculous vein of form, ridiculously good.” Jordan said.

“I’ve always pushed back against the characterisation that he’s a world class player and that he’s in an elite position,

“I think that he’s a very good player, you do not get to play for Man Utd without being a good player, but I don’t think he’s world class.”

Jordan went on to say that he thinks the term ‘world class’ is thrown around too much, and very little players actually deserve the title.

“You can see that his confidence is brimming. Confidence and moments in time are one thing, but a body of work and a consistent level of attainment that puts you above everybody else – that’s the usage of the word ‘world class’,

“We throw it around like confetti.” he continued.

“There are very few world class players, you can name them on a couple of hands,

“While Marcus Rashford’s form is extraordinarily good, I think it’s a bit silly to start calling him world class.”

❌ “Rashford is in a ridiculous vein of form, but I don’t think he’s world class!”

🤦‍♂️ “We throw around ‘world class’ like it’s confetti! It’s silly to call him world class!”
