Henry Winter interviewed him today whilst he was providing Christmas donations to his old primary school in Manchester. This quote stood out to me but he’s pretty much admitting he is not gonna be here for the forseeable.
Henry Winter @henrywinter
I ask Rashford if he’s staying or going? “For me, personally, I think I'm ready for a new challenge and the next steps." All of his words were prefaced with respect for the club which has been his home for almost 20 years. “When I leave it's going to be ‘no hard feelings’. You’re not going to have any negative comments from me about Manchester United. That’s me as a person.
"If I know that a situation is already bad I'm not going to make it worse. I've seen how other players have left in the past and I don't want to be that person. When I leave I'll make a statement and it will be from me." From the heart as he’ll always be a Red? “Yes! 100%. 100%."

Why are some of our moronic fans so quick to constantly blame Bruno and Rashford for literally everything when we've got other players who have been way worse and contributed far less? I don't get it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
you tell me, i mean pogba in his time at united was europa league player of the tournament, made pfa team of the year (first outfielder post saf to do so), and came 15th in the ballon d'or (highest placing of any utd player post-saf).
none of our other midfielders, combined, have managed a single one of those (and no, i don't count fernandes as a midfielder, but even he can't claim all of those).
yet some posters on here - you may know some of them - blamed him for everything wrong at the club bar the leaky roof.
so you tell me why the toxic element of our fanbase just loves to single out individual players, even where there are objectively worse ones at the club.

It’s hardly abuse though, most seem to be saying it’s time for him to go which is seemingly what the manager is also saying after only being at the club for a month.

Absolutely and I think you know I never once said he didn't have bags of ability. I regularly used to say what Souness said.....he has bags of ability and zero drive and heart. That was the issue.
And of course he cost us £90m to come back. That's got to be factor. Rashford didn't leave and come back so cost us nothing.
From a purely technical perspective Pogba is one of the best footballers we've signed. Didn't deliver it for us consistently but had the ability too had he had the motivation.

If me saying "I'm fed up with his performances", is 'abuse' then I better not sneeze incase someone reports me to the police.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you read his social media pages? The comments he gets are more than. Disgusting at times. They are borderline criminal and coming from United fans a lot of the time.
It's absolutely ridiculous. Never a crime to not rate a player but when players like Bruno get way more stick than players who have cost us a fortune and contributed far less I will never be on board with it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My personal internal thinking says to me that to be an active participant on a social media platform I would be to be a self absorbed moron leaving the front door wide open to receiving abuse & criticism.
Why people bother with it I have no idea. The urge for self promotion I've always presumed. If you want to announce or promote yourself to a world of 8 billion opinions then be prepared for obsession, compliments, criticism, and abuse.

so it turns out that £90m - which we could have recouped, had we accepted barcelona's offer for him in 2018 - is the difference between "we stand by our own" and "Never disliked a Utd player as much as I do him. Absolute pansy and can't wait till he's gone. Dab your way back to Italy Paul."

I stand by what I said. He was. He cost us a world record fee and had miles more natural ability than Rashford was born with and wasted it.
Definitely some parallels though with the way Rashford has been going off the pitch. Like Pogba his image and brand has started to take more and more importance and to the detriment of his form.
You argued with me for years about Pogba. I was proven right. He left under a dark cloud and 99% of Utd fans wanting him out too. You are the 1% who clung on for something that wasn't there.
And look at what's happened since he left. Injuries, more injuries and a drugs ban. 😂

I think it’ll be best for the club and Rashford to part ways this summer. Hopefully he can get his career back on track somewhere else and we can use the funds from a sale to bring in some players more suited to the new coaches needs.

Most want him gone.
He has come out insinuating he needs a new challenge.
What’s the problem here?

Rob
Rather than die he could maybe just run a bit more.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I believe him and Garnacho are averaging 10.1 and 10.2km per 90 this season. Hardly anything in it.
The perception is Garnacho runs all day and Rashford doesn't even jog.
As I said......when you go into a football game with a pre conceived opinion you choose to see and believe what you want to believe.
I don't think either player works hard enough and could definitely run more for sure. However one of them was regularly getting praised for the same amount of running per game which is hilarious. 😂
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tbh I run more than that during 90. I know because my really expensive Garmin watch tells me so.
Rashy moves around the pitch indeed, but he doesn't do it with any sort of intensity.
But why would you need to be told that over and over before finally getting it?
