Marcus Rashford has admitted that he’s ready for a ‘new challenge’ as he continues to be linked with a move away from Manchester United.
Rashford has been in the news this week after he was left out of the United team that beat Manchester City at the weekend for poor behavior in training. The England international has been struggling for form this season and was also booed by sections of the away end on Thursday night in the Europa League.
And now, in an interview with journalist Henry Winter, Rashford has admitted for the first time that he is ready for a new challenge away from the club. He said:
“For me, personally, I’m ready for a NEW challenge and the next steps When I leave it’s going to be ‘no hard feelings’. You’re not going to have any negative comments from me about Man United That’s me. I will always be a Red”.
When I leave Manchester United, I’ll make a statement and it will be from me That’s for sure”. Lack of professionalism? I do feel misunderstood but I’m fine with it I’m a very simple person. I love football.That’s been my life from the beginning”.
Marcus Rashford on next steps:
“I’m halfway through my career. I don’t expect my peak to be now”.
“The best is yet to come? 100%. That’s my mentality. 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 to do? Cry about it? Or do my best the next time I’m available”.
