Marcus Rashford Hints at Manchester United Exit: 'I’m Ready for a New Challenge'

Marcus Rashford has stirred speculation about his future at Manchester United after admitting he is ready for a new challenge. The English forward’s comments come amid rumors of a potential transfer next summer.

Following his omission from the recent Manchester derby squad, Rashford addressed the media while visiting his former primary school in South Manchester, where he generously distributed Christmas gifts to 420 students. Despite the growing speculation, Rashford insisted that any departure would be handled with utmost respect.

“Personally, I think I’m ready for the next step,” Rashford stated. “When the time comes, there will be no bad feelings. I’ll always hold Manchester United close to my heart.”

His remarks come after reports that United might consider selling the 27-year-old forward. Rashford, however, clarified that he intends to leave the club in a professional manner: “I’ve seen how others have left, and I won’t let things turn sour. If and when I go, it will be on my own terms.”

Despite the disappointment of missing the derby, which United won dramatically, Rashford remained positive, urging the team to focus on the season ahead. “It’s frustrating, but the win is all that matters,” he added.

Rashford’s future is set to dominate headlines in the coming months, as clubs across Europe monitor the situation closely.
