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%."

Where was I condesending? He's on a huge wage that no club will match, that's a fact. Often players refuse to move because other clubs are unable to match their current wages and demand a pay off from their current clubs. I'm simply stating what could happen.
This is a football forum for fans to discuss footballing matters, there's no need for Rashford to look here, I'm not really sure what your point is.
And what do you know about my own career. I'm very fortunate to do what I do and love doing it and like to occassionaly spend time on here chatting about football.

Ruben Amorim says he will decide whether Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford will be part of the squad for Spurs after training: "If they train well we have to make a choice. I expect the best of each player every day."
Ruben Amorim: "We are better with Rashford, that is simple. We will try different things to push Marcus to the levels he showed."

A massively overhyped player (not any fault of his, but as fans we were clinging to a potentially shining light in an ocean of mediocrity) living off 2 good seasons and perhaps a half dozen memorable moments outside of those.
I’ll remember him fondly for a few moments: His PL debut vs Arsenal, retiring Demichelis, his double vs Liverpool, the PSG penalty, the Chelsea FK, the winner against Citt last season.
Beyond that, it’s unfortunately a lot of hype and false dawns. It was clear very quickly that lazy attitude wouldn’t be tolerated under Amorim.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There are so many fine moments than you've listed. Maybe we would remember them more with more affection if the team had been better, and more of those great contributions had been part of wins and fewer of them had been consolation goals. E.g. his opening goals away against Arsenal in the 3-2 defeat in ETH's first season was a worldie. Also a fine strike to open the scoring at City. Scored a really good opening goal against Arsenal in our defeat last season.
Again, this isn't to deny his shortcomings etc. but it's hard to deny that in a better team, and without the general air of failure and disappointment around Manchester United, the discourse would celebrate what he has given us over the years more. (And in a better team, with more coherence, better coaching, higher confidence, etc. he'd almost certainly have scored more goals and developed into a better player.)

Dont think it was a good look when he took that trip to the States during the international break.

Rashford has a very long list of fine moments in a United shirt. If and when he leaves, his YouTube back catalogue will be fantastic.

Given the interview last night he might have been there negotiating a move for all we know.

Doubt it, didn’t he go to the US the week Amorim joined during the International break?
I’m guessing he would have at least waited until meeting Amorim before making any decision to leave.

Definitely not the words of someone who expects to stay and fight for a spot in the team. Maybe Amorim and the club have spoken to him about his future at the club.
I hope he knows that no club is going to match his current wage (or anything close to it). I wonder if the club are willing to pay him off some amount to move?

The lad is nearly 20 years your junior and has achieved more than you can ever hope to. I have no idea where you get the stones to be so condescending but yes, he will be fully aware of the situation.
I don't think any Premier League player needs to heed the advice of absolute no marks who spend hours of their day obsessing over people and things they actually have no idea about what so ever.
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe he could do with visiting this site and getting some real insight from the people who really know what's going on. They're only working mundane jobs and voyeuring on his life out of choice, they could definitely work in football if they wanted to. If anything, he would actually probably thank you for flagging the salary issue, it certainly won't have crossed his mind. Maybe he should employ you as a life advisor? Your life decisions have seen you sit on a football forum for years on end, talking repeatedly about things you have no knowledge of. You could be the real game changer for his career and life.

Criticizing someone for (not really) being condensing, before proceeding to be a condensing @hole for the rest of the comment

Benefit of the doubt from Amorim perspective that the trip was organised before ten hag was sacked
Still not a great look though
