Manchester United star Marcus Rashford has been in a slump this season, but instead of burying his head in training, he and his agent team have begun to concoct transfer rumors to pave the way for him to renew his contract or leave the team. Football Insider reported that Marcus Rashford told friends he wanted to leave Manchester United this summer.
Marcus Rashford, 24, has lost his main position for United, making 26 appearances this season and scoring just five goals and starting just a third in The Manchester United's Premier League. England Demon Star thinks he needs to leave to get back in shape. According to sources, Master La confirmed in his circle of friends that because of his lack of playing time at Manchester United, he was questioned and left to meet new challenges, which may be the best choice.
Some fans believe that Marcus Rashford has not been entirely focused on football in the past two seasons, but has instead fought for free meals for children off the pitch, received the Queen's Award, and also published a book to develop his commercial value and receive the honorary doctorate title.
But Rashford refuted those claims, insisting he loved Manchester United and should not be doubted. After being eliminated after the 1-0 defeat to Atletico in the Champions League, Marcus Rashford was verbally abused by fans outside Old Trafford, and he did not want to be humiliated and contradicted him, which caused controversy.
Marcus Rashford wanted to leave the squad and was thought to have nothing to do with the club's search for a new manager. Its current contract period will last until the summer of 2023, but there is still a one-year priority renewal. His transfer rumors are believed to have two intentions, either to force Malay to renew his salary and promise the main position, or to leave Manchester United, where he has been playing since childhood, to seek new developments.
In the British media, there are many clubs interested in Marcus Rashford, including Barca, Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool, and the latest to join the competition is Arsenal. Britain's Daily Mirror said Arsenal boss Arteta was looking for a new striker and considering signing Marcus Rashford.
Arsenal's Aubameyang has joined Barca in the winter window, and Lacazette's contract will expire this summer, so Rashford is included in the scope of the investigation. He has scored 93 goals and 58 assists in 297 games for United, and his Premier League debut was against the Gunners, with two more goals. Arsenal have also signed United's youth striker in the past, with Welbeck joining Arsenal for £16m, which is still the red Devils' record for the highest transfer fee to sell a youth player.
Marcus Rashford was considered United's future pillar, however, getting a high salary of £200,000 a week prematurely made him disoriented. It is already a well-known fact that Manchester United players are overpaid, and even thieves are well aware of it. Recently, another Red Devils player was robbed. Tahith Chong, a Chinese-Dutch winger currently rented out to Championship Birmingham, was robbed by gangsters at 3 a.m. with a knife rack around his neck.
Chen Dayi, 22, was sleeping at his villa in Searle, Greater Manchester, when masked robbers who invaded his apartment were stabbed in the neck with knives and threatened to hand over his belongings. It turned out that the gangsters had stolen thousands of pounds of property and felt that it was not enough, so they demanded that Chen Dayi hand over jewelry, watches and designer bags. The brazen robbers even taunted Chen, saying that their Manchester United players were too well paid and that the security guards were useless.
The source told the British newspaper The Sun: "For Xiao Chen, this is a terrible experience. He woke up to three gangsters in hoods, holding knives against his throat. They also shined a flashlight into his eyes and ordered him to stand up and hand over his jewelry watch. They seem to know exactly what they are doing and what they are pursuing. They knew the player was from Manchester United, called him by his name and even told him that he had to improve the level of security in his home or he would be in danger again. It was chilling, and he was extremely shocked. This gang is very professional, it looks like a repeat offender, and maybe they did the theft of other players."
This is the fifth time that a Manchester United player has been robbed, after Lindelof, Jesse Lingard, Pogba and Hannibal Mederbury were victims, and City's Canselo was also attacked, and he bravely challenged the gangsters and suffered a facial injury.
