MARCUS RASHFORD HAS described the latest speculation concerning his future at Manchester United as “ridiculous”.
A report claimed the United striker had met with a leading sports agency to try to hasten a move away from Old Trafford.
This comes after the 27-year-old said in an interview last month he was ready “for a new challenge” after falling out of favour under new boss Ruben Amorim.
But Rashford, who is currently represented by his brother Dwaine Maynard, wrote on Instagram: “Been a lot of false stories written over the past few weeks, but guys this is getting ridiculous – never met with any agency and don’t have any plans to…”
Rashford was omitted from four successive matchday squads last month, starting with the derby against Manchester City, before being an unused substitute for Monday’s defeat by Newcastle.
He has struggled for form in what has been a difficult campaign for United, scoring just four times in the Premier League.
I’d say the poor lad put the feelers out and was told there is absolutely no club in world football willing to pay him the wages United currently are.
@Brian I: exactly. He says he’s ready for a new challenge and then complains about the speculation, he seems to have a bad attitude and is badly represented. Id imagine he’ll sit out his contract now because his standard is about West Ham with half the wage he’s currently on.
He has not performed for along time now
Happy to take his wages
The sooner a wage cap comes in and anything above linked to performance id be very happy to see
I think player’s attitude would change as well
Being guaranteed crazy money for the next 5 years no matter what is not good for your mentality
He’s useless. Same as martial.

Sounds like a not happy man in a un-united place. Many deivdes
Played through a serious back injury for 2 years and is now half the player as a result. Every right to sit back and take the cash off the geniuses running United, especially after the amount of toxic abuse he takes off supposed “fans”
