Man Utd legend Rio Ferdinand names club that could be ‘best fit’ for Marcus Rashford this January

Rio Ferdinand says he would be ‘surprised’ if Marcus Rashford did not leave Manchester United this January and believes Borussia Dortmund may be the best fit for the forward. Rashford announced last month that he was keen for a ‘new challenge’ away from Old Trafford and the 27-year-old has not featured for United since, seemingly frozen out of Ruben Amorim’s plans.
Several clubs have been credited with an interest in Rashford in the intervening weeks, including AC Milan, Como, Galatasaray and Dortmund, and the Red Devils are open to offers for the England international from potential suitors overseas. The likes of West Ham and Tottenham have also been tentatively linked, though United are reportedly refusing to do business with a Premier League rival this month.
‘I would be surprised if he’s still a Manchester United player come the end of this transfer window, I’ve got to be honest,’ ex-United and England defender Ferdinand told TNT Sports on Rashford’s situation. ‘Listen, I don’t think it’s about who is responsible for it, there is going to be blame on each side: the club, management maybe as well, there’s probably a shared amount of blame.
‘But ultimately, if you look at it when you’re a player, you look at yourself first and you go, “What could I have done better?”, and that’s what I hope he will be doing. ‘I hope he’s then going, “Right, I’m not looking back anymore, I’m going to look forward”, and if it’s not Manchester United, wherever it may be, I would wish Marcus Rashford all the best because I want to see him do well.
