The future of Marcus Rashford a Manchester is increasingly uncertain. The United striker took advantage of a day off to return to his old primary school in the south of the city and deliver Christmas presents. He took the opportunity to comment the choice of Amorim who didn’t call him and Garnacho up for the match against Manchester City last Sunday: “It’s disheartening to be left out of a derby – Rashford explained to journalist Henry Winter – but it happened and we won the match, so let’s move on. It’s disappointing, but I’m getting older and I know how to handle these moments. What will I do now? I can sit there crying or do my best the next time I’m available.”
“In my heart I will always be 100% ‘Red'”
Rashford leaves the door open to a possible farewell: “I believe I am ready for a new challenge and take the next steps. When I leave I will do so without rancor: you will not receive any negative comments from me about Manchester Unitedbecause that’s how I am. If I know the situation is already bad, I won’t make it worse. I’ve seen how some players have left the team in the past and I don’t want to be like them. I will simply make a statement and it will start with me. In my heart I will always be a 100% ‘Red’“.
“The best is yet to come”
“I’m halfway through my career,” Rashford continued. “I played for 9 years in the Premier League and this allowed me to learn a lot, I grew both as a player and as a person. So I have no regrets for what I did, just as I won’t have any in the future. I am convinced that the best is yet to come”. The striker dreams of the 2026 World Cup with England after being excluded from Euro 2024: “It still excites me to play for your country in the biggest competition in the world. I’ve had the chance to do this before and it’s an incredible experience“.
