Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford looks set to leave Old Trafford if his latest interview is anything to go by.
After missing out entirely on the weekend win against Manchester City at the Etihad, it seems Rashford didn’t take it lightly and saw it as a sign it was all over.
Despite celebrating the win on his social media page, on Tuesday, December 17, while visiting his former school a few days later, the United forward gave an interview to reporter Harry Winter that has stunned many.
In the new viral piece, Rashford revealed that he felt understood by many fans, but he’s fine with it.
Reacting to Ruben Amorim’s decision to drop him for the derby, Rashford noted it was disheartening, but he was happy that the team won.
“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 am I going to do about it? Sit there and cry about it. Or do my best the next time I’m available.”

Rashford on set to leave Old Trafford after 9 years in PL
When it came to whether he was staying or leaving, Rashford was quick to admit that he felt his time had come, and he was ready for a new challenge.
However, he promised to show professionalism and avoid any negative comments about his departure and remain a Red even after he leaves.
“For me, personally, I think 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 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%.”
According to Rashford, his best years are still ahead of him. At 27, he still sees that his peak is yet to come and has no regrets about his career.

Rashford hopes to have great form to be picked for the 2026 World Cup in the US, which could be under the leadership of German Thomas Tuchel.
Only a few teams can afford to buy Rashford. Paris Saint-Germain have been great suitors, and he’s also received love from Spain.
The biggest challenge is his high wages, which only a few can match, and as it stands, many clubs cannot afford such high wages unless they are some of the richest in the world.
