Manchester United may have a new coach, but there may be changes in the coming weeks. The club and Ruben Amorim have agreed to no longer trust Marcus Rashford. In other words, it’s on sale. Despite his history and his links with the Red Devils, the striker has pulled too hard in recent months where he is only a shadow of himself. He too regularly makes the headlines for his private life, sometimes nocturnal, and his performance has declined radically, although he receives an annual salary of €18.25 million. He ended up losing his starting status.
Since INEOS took over Manchester United, there has been a hunt for spending. The new owner hopes to recover €45 million from the England international (60 caps, 17 goals). This amount seems difficult to achieve for a player who has been losing momentum for two years but, on the positive side, Marcus Rashford will not oppose his departure. He even believes he has served his time at the club. “I think I’m ready to take on a new challenge. The day I leave, it will be without hard feelings. I will not make any negative comments about Manchester United. I’ve seen how other players have left in the past and I don’t want to be that person“.
“I think I’m ready for a new challenge»
The 27-year-old’s statements are surprising. Especially since they were made this Tuesday in an unofficial setting, during a visit to the former primary school of the principal concerned, where he was distributing gifts. This is how he let himself go to Henry Winter, an independent journalist with a huge following in England. The latter also asked him if he “would always be a Red at heart“. Rashford’s response: ” Yes ! 100% ». However, the player under contract until 2028 is no longer part of Ruben Amorim’s plans. The Portuguese did not even call him up to face Manchester City on Sunday (2-1 victory for United).
“It’s disappointing to be left out of a derby, but it happened, we won the game, so let’s move onevades the player. It’s disappointing, but I’m also someone who, as I get older, can deal with this sort of thing. What am I going to do? Sit and cry. Or do my best next time I’m available“. If his coach calls him again… With 24 appearances in all competitions this season (7 goals and 3 assists), Marcus Rashford is experiencing his worst hours at Manchester United, perhaps also his last. His courtiers, like PSG, have been warned.
