Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has brutally dismissed the possibility of Marcus Rashford leaving Manchester United to join Premier League rivals Arsenal.
Rashford Announces he’s ‘ready’ to leave Junior Club Manchester United 2025. He made that clear when he was left out of the Manchester derby squad by Ruben Amorim on Sunday.
It is hoped the snub will serve as a much-needed wake-up call for the 27-year-old, who has been criticized for poor performances and attitude over the past 18 months.
However, Rashford took a different path and decided to seek a fresh start. He said: “If I knew it was already bad I wouldn’t make it worse. I’ve seen other players leave in the past but I don’t want to be that person.
“When I leave I will make a statement and it will be from me. I won’t feel ‘sad’ when I leave. You won’t get anything negative from me about Manchester United. That’s who I am people.
“Personally, I think I’m ready for the new challenge and the next step.”
