Marcus Rashford’s time at Man United appears to be slowly but surely coming to an end, with former professional turned outspoken pundit Stan Collymore suggesting it is not before time.
Reuben Amorim it is clear why he gave up Marcus Rashford from his recent Manchester United set up, i given the winger’s poor formit is hard to argue with the Portuguese interpretation of the situation.
Just 18 months or so ago, Rashford was one of the best players in the Premier League while enjoying a scintillating campaign under former manager, Erik ten Haag.
Marcus Rashford must leave Man United, says Collymore
However, since then the player has not come close to those dizzying heights. Stan Collymore believes he knows the reason why and what the solution to Rashford’s problems will be.
“Marcus Rashford should leave Manchester United. I’ve been saying this for probably a few years now, and he should either go abroad or to an advanced Premier League club,” he told CaughtOffside of his exclusive column.
“Would it be West Ham or Brighton or even Bournemouth? Would the Cherries go after the big fish and see if he can go to a smaller pond and just enjoy some football on the south coast? It’s not that funny – but could they afford it?
“I think there will be those who decide for Rashford either from Germany or Italy, but I’m not so sure about Spain.
“You just have to enjoy the game and love it again, and I wonder if it ever has in the last five or six years. He always looks like he carries the weight of the world on his shoulders.
“For me it’s really simple. Either go for the wild card in terms of Bournemouth or head overseas, somewhere like Napoli or AC Milan.”
Marcus Rashford’s wages will be a stumbling block
The stumbling block will of course be Rashford’s wages. According to CapologyThe 27-year-old earns a staggering £300k-a-week, which puts him level with captain Bruno Fernandes and just behind Casemiro (£350k-a-week) in the pecking order.
That will almost certainly be more than the Premier League clubs Collymore mentioned, and perhaps even too much for Milan and Napoli.
In the end, United may have to accept that they will lose a load of money on a player who, although he didn’t cost them a penny, has become a problem.
