Rashford says he is prepared to leave Old Trafford after spending two decades at his boyhood club
Marcus Rashford has admitted he is ready to leave Manchester United and begin a “new challenge”.
Rashford was left out of the squad for Sunday’s Manchester derby, along with winger Alejandro Garnacho, with manager Ruben Amorim later explaining: “It’s important for me the performance in training, the performance in game, the way you dress, the way you eat, the way you engage with the team-mates, the way you push your team-mates.”
The 27-year-old has been at United since he was seven years old, and broke into the first team aged 18 under then manager Louis van Gaal. But after nearly a decade in the first team, Rashford has said it is time to move on.
“For me, personally, I think I’m ready for a new challenge and the next steps,” he told the journalist Henry Winter. “When I leave it’s going to be ‘no hard feelings’. You’re not going to have any negative comments from me about Manchester United. That’s me as a person.”
