After witnessing Manchester United's competitors win the Champions League on Saturday night, Rashford turned off the television.
Marcus Rashford thinks club rivalries with England are left at the door because to the group's "strong bond" despite the Manchester United star's inability to watch Manchester City win the Champions League.
This season, the red half of Manchester has significantly improved since Erik ten Hag's arrival. A win in the Carabao Cup in February was followed by a third-place finish in the Premier League.
By defeating United in the first all-Manchester FA Cup final and maintaining their momentum toward emulating their rivals' historic 1999 treble victory, City prevented United from capping off their season on a high note at Wembley.
Rashford watched the Champions League final on television, but there was only so much he could take. Pep Guardiola's team succeeded in doing so by defeating Inter Milan on Saturday.
Rashford said when it was mentioned to him that Trent Alexander-Arnold had switched off the television when United won the FA Cup because he could not stand to see Liverpool's competitors celebrate their victories, "It's exactly the same.
"I like watching the best football games since I enjoy watching football, therefore I did that.
I don't need to see them celebrate after they win the game, so turn the TV off, I say.
City's treble naturally stings, but it seems unlikely that club rivalries will have the same negative influence on England as they did in earlier generations.
Rashford predicted that the talks he would have with the five players while they were on international duty would be humorous.
But as I said, congrats to them; in my opinion, they merited it because they played the finest football of the year.
"Really, there isn't much else to say about it. They did pretty well this year, and the talking is over on the field.
