Even before his interview, it was quite telling that the club’s launch of the new pre-match kit didn’t feature Rashford yesterday.
Marcus Rashford (Out) | Rashford: “For me, personally, I think I'm ready for a new challenge and the next steps.”

I'd love to see him at Atletico and watch Simeone physically strangle him at halftime.
Only club which ticks all boxes ( have money for fee and wage, big enough for his appetite, need for left winger) is Arsenal. But does he even wish to stay in England?
You do realise Man United will be subsidising his wages to any club that buys him anyway.
wouldn't mind swap with rodrygo tbh, but since United want to improve their PSR Rashford must be sold for profit
Maybe napoli, conte loves himself an out of favour united player.
he must be london bound, I can't imagine any sides in the north will take his fancy, it all points to chelsea for me when you consider sancho is there, chelsea are pushing for the title and they probably think they good deal out of sancho and think they could do it again with rashford on a fee similar to sancho

I wonder if all this codology indicates a bit of a disconnect between manager and management? I wonder if Ego Jim has been sticking his jammy fingers in the pie Amorim is cooking…
I think this could end up being it. If simeone can't get him to work then no one can, and he could work in a front two.
To an extent but we don't know to what extent they will be willing to do it
Almost like Rashford has called Amorim’s bluff here…managers drop players to get a reaction and refocus.
I’m not sure he would have expected Rashy to do an interview in the guardian giving quotes about leaving and finding a new challenge.
But it’s all part of the circus that is United, if it wasn’t Rashford it would be someone else, as a fan the last 5-10 years have been so tiresome.

Spain is much more technical, he would struggle there. Italy would be much better suited to him, I feel he can tear it up there. I mean forwards like Lukaku, Pulisic, Morata, Tammy Abraham, Lookman, Scamacca, even our own Hojlund and Zirkzee all shined in that league. It's a league where a bit of strength & pace takes you a long way, as a forward.
Conte would get sick of him within a month.
Why do people keep saying this? Rashford has been a unique case this past decade, no other player would get the opportunities he's had while putting in the disgraceful effort and performances he has for the past two years and before that too. Take Antony for example of that, do you honestly think he/the average United player would get the opportunities Marcus has been afforded. It won't be somebody else if the club stop the trend of rewarding years of mediocre performances, quickly gets rid of long time underpeforming players, and the manager fields his teams on actual merit.

If he puts as much effort into learning Spanish as he does on the football field, he'll be able to say Hola by 2026.
We won't as such, we'd just accept a lower offer in order to cut him loose.
Even selling him for £30m get us a saving of £54.6m on wages for 3 years (based upon £350k widely reported figures) and also allows us to spend record a £30m profit on the books for this year, and then spend £120m spread over 4 years for a replacement.
I just hope we get a good financial deal for parting ways.
For a player on 1m a week it's just not good enough
If you're tired of the circus then you should want to see the back of Rashford, and any other player who thinks they are bigger than the club.
The circus will end when the culture at the club becomes one that is focused on professionalism and winning, instead of enabling players to ride the gravy train despite no accountability for their actions.
The supporters have a part to play in that, by not tolerating and making excuses for players like Rashford. No player is bigger than the club.
I don't really see what's so difficult to understand when it comes to how we fix this club. We literally had two decades demonstrating the perfect example of how to build a winning team prior to Ferguson retiring. And it certainly didn't include indulging lazy players
All Saudi teams want him
This has shades of Rooney without, you know, the actual career to give you such audacity to say what he has
So in other words, would be the interest of All al ?
Makes sense -- the Saudis will need constant media attention in the lead-up to their WC. Replace Neymar too.
100 million for us and a million or two a week for him in a 7yrs deal.
Not sure why hate is being brought up so often. You can be angry and annoyed without it having anything to do with hate. It seems a bit easy to portrait it as people being unreasonable just because they’re happy to see the potential end of Rashfords career at United.
It’s hardly a surprise that the gap between Rashford and fans have grown bigger, for quite some time his team has been completely oblivious to what’s happening. Internet forums/social media aside, the attending fans don’t simply turn against an academy player over night and he’s hardly well liked at the moment. There’s no need for the youtube promos of Rashford training, there’s no need for the coordinated articles about how hard he’s training and how extreme his fitness is, how ready he is for the new season, if you don’t show it on the pitch. It’s essentially like generic football manager quotes. Just shut the feck up, leave everything on the pitch and the tide will turn. At the end of the day, Rashfords talk outside of the pitch isn’t reflective of how he’s performing on the pitch. A few days after Amorim essentially issued a challenge to Rashford, by leaving him out of the squad for the derby, a derby we won without him and Garnacho, you get a well coordinated interview with Winters where Rashford signals the end of his career at United and how he’s ready for a new challenge, the next steps of his career, how he hasn’t peaked yet and how his mentality is that the next challenge is always ahead of him. How on earth did someone around him decide that it was a good idea to pull a stunt like that considering his last 1,5 years at the club. The people around him have essentially allowed Rashford to turn into a poster boy of everything that’s gone wrong with the club, a lot of talk outside the pitch but feck all on the pitch.
It really doesn’t matter. He either improves and proves that he can be a valuable part of the squad or we get rid of him, either way something has to change.
Don’t see Rashford agreeing to a move to Saudi. I still think he wants to prove something and he will not agree to early retirement.
I think it will depend on other offers.
Saudi would be a good move for him, he'll stick out as one of the better players, meaning he'd have a better chance of making the England squad. I've said it for a while but that back injury has took its toll, he's not going to get his lightening pace back so a move to a slower paced league would suit him.
Which is - incidentally - two years before his current contract expires.
Whether he - himself - wants to move on, or whether United want him gone...there's a bit of a problem there: he's on a HUGE (for most clubs, his current wages are utterly unrealistic, let's say) long-term contract.
If Hojlund and Zirkzee were shining in Italy, Rashford would be Messi-level over there.
I was going to say, I really can't see Barca or Real being interested with the options they have so that only leaves Atletico of the bigger clubs but you've just given a reason why that might not work. Simeone would not put up with half the stuff we've seen over the past few years.
Hojlund is shining in the Premier LEague compared to what Rashford has shown in recent months
Also, he’s not going to Saudi.
We would be happy to accept players from Barcelona in a trade off.

Do hope with him coming out with these statements in public, it means there are some concrete options out there for him and he is in alignment with the club. Just don't see where he would leave himself in a position where he is has to end up staying and then have no way back.
I do not begrudge him in coming out and saying he is ready to move on, it's been apparent that may be the only way for him to get back to levels he is capable of because it just doesn't seem to be happening here.

If it wasn't for players like him we wouldn't be a circus, would we?
Rashford is the best academy player in the last decade and every season, every fan waited for him to shine, to become a star player, it never happened and it will never happen.
Pity he wasn't sold for more money, when he was younger, but we needed a quality manager that could of seen his trajectory beforehand.
Okay wheres the manutd.com link?
Okay you're right its a huge contract but he will start if hes scoring plenty of goals. If he isnt eventually we will sell
If he isnt scoring and Hojlund is always starting and Rashford isnt, what team is going to come up with a good offer to buy him and offer him similar wages?
It'll be the same as with Sancho. We'd be letting him go for around £30 million and paying half his wages.
If he plays and scores goals we'll get a lot more offers. So its better either way if we rotate him in as a striker this season and he scores goals.
