- England forward says he is ‘ready for next steps’
- Rashford out of squad and could leave in January
Marcus Rashford’s almost 20-year association with Manchester United looks set to come to an end after the striker acknowledged: “I think I’m ready for a new challenge and the next steps.” The England international was dropped from the squad for the Manchester derby victory over City on Sunday and the club are open to selling him.
The 27-year-old has struggled for form over the past two seasons and the new head coach, Ruben Amorim, and United’s hierarchy will be happy to move Rashford on in January. United are willing to listen to offers for the forward but his £365,000 per week wages could make it difficult to find a suitor that can afford him, so may need to accept below-market value to smooth his departure.
