Former Barcelona star Asisat Oshoala gave a hilarious take on Marcus Rashford’s potential Man United return, saying it could make him “burst cry.”
In a post-match comment that’s both hilarious and heartfelt, Nigerian football star Asisat Oshoala has weighed in on the sensational form of Marcus Rashford and a hypothetical return to Manchester United.
Following Rashford’s latest game-changing performance for Barcelona, the Al-Hilal forward took to social media to suggest that leaving his current club could make the English international “burst cry” from sadness.
Rashford, 27, has been enjoying a career renaissance at Barcelona since his season-long loan move from Manchester United.
This past weekend, he came off the bench in the La Liga to assist a goal in a comfortable 3-0 victory over Getafe, extending Barcelona’s unbeaten run across competitions.

His assist to Dani Olmo followed an impressive performance against Newcastle United in the Champions League, bringing his total goal contributions to an impressive four goals and assists in just his last three outings.
Oshoala’s viral tweet, “Bruh, imagine how Rashford will feel if he goes back to United…..e fit burst cry. E dey enjoy ball ehhhh” perfectly captures the sentiment of many fans.
The phrase, a mix of English and Nigerian pidgin, roughly translates to Rashford enjoying his football so much, as also reported by Pulse Sports, which could see him burst into tears if he had to go back to Manchester United at the end of the season
Oshoala, herself a former Barcelona star who recently found the back of the net for her new club Al-Hilal, understands the joy of playing at the top level and the freedom that comes with it.
