Marcus Rashford has admitted that he's ready a 'new challenge' amid reports that Manchester United have put him up for sale. Rashford, 27, was left out of United's squad to face bitter rivals City on Sunday, with new manager Ruben Amorim making the decision based off the forward's recent performances. It's been reported that United are ready to cash in on Rashford, who joined the club aged seven, ahead of the January transfer window.
"For me, personally, I think I'm ready for a new challenge and the next steps," Henry Winter quotes Rashford as saying during a visit to his old primary school, Button Lane, to hand out Christmas presents. "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.
"If I know that a situation is already bad I'm not going to make it worse. I'e seen how other players have left in the past and I don't want to be that person. When I leave I'll make a statement and it will be from me.". YOU DECIDE! Cast your vote for Fans' Footballer of the Year 2024.
Asked if he'd 'always be a red', he replied: "Yes! 100 per cent. 100 per cent.". On Amorim's decision to leave him out against City, the academy graduate said: "It's disheartening to be left out of a derby but it's happened, we won the game so let's move on. It's disappointing but I'm also someone as I've got older I can deal with setbacks. What am I going to do about it? Sit there and cry about it. Or do my best the next time I'm available.".
