Marcus Rashford responds to being dropped in Manchester derby by admitting Old Trafford exit could loom large.
Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is ready for a new challenge as he continues to be linked with a move away from the Premier League club.
On Sunday, United beat Manchester City 2-1, but Rashford, along with Alejandro Garnacho, was left out of the trip to the Etihad, with new manager Ruben Amorim saying his decision was about holding his players to high standards.
This led to media reports that United were looking to sell the England forward, who has been at United since the age of seven, and the 27-year-old spoke on the subject while visiting his old school to hand out Christmas presents.
“For me, personally, I think I’m ready for a new challenge and the next steps,” Rashford told football writer Henry Winter on Tuesday evening when asked if he was staying or leaving United.
“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.
