Tottenham Hotspur is set to face Manchester United in the Carabao Cup quarter-final on Thursday night. This match comes amidst a flurry of headlines surrounding Marcus Rashford's future with Manchester United, following his absence from the recent Manchester derby and subsequent comments about his career trajectory.
Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham's manager, has made it clear that he has no interest in the ongoing speculation about Marcus Rashford's future. In response to questions about Rashford’s recent comments and potential transfer plans, the Australian manager stated emphatically: “No interest. Don’t care."
Postecoglou instead urged Spurs fans to rally together for the upcoming Carabao Cup quarter-final against Manchester United. His focus remains firmly on his team and their performance in this crucial match.
Tottenham Hotspur manager, Ange Postecoglou, said:
“No interest. Don’t care.
"Not interested, he is a Manchester United player. A very good player, they have plenty of good players. But I manage my players and other managers will manage their own players. In terms of Marcus’ situation I have no real desire to examine it any further. There’s always noise about Manchester United, come on mate. Where have you been?"
Limited options for high-paid star
Marcus Rashford, who earns a staggering £300,000-a-week at Old Trafford, seems to have limited options when it comes to potential transfers. Notably absent among these options appears to be Tottenham Hotspur. Rashford was dropped by Ruben Amorim for Sunday's derby win before announcing his desire to leave Old Trafford on Tuesday. This announcement has sparked widespread speculation and discussion among football fans and pundits alike.
In other news related to Tottenham Hotspur, a 5-0 victory over Southampton last Sunday night eased some pressure off Ange Postecoglou. However, this defeat led Russell Martin losing his job as Southampton manager. Despite this victory though, there seems to be growing discontent among Spurs supporters towards chairman Daniel Levy. Fans sang against Levy during their away game at St Mary’s, and a protest against his reign is planned before Sunday’s Premier League clash with Liverpool.
As the Carabao Cup quarter-final approaches, it's clear that there are several subplots adding to the drama of this high-stakes match. From Rashford's future to fan protests, these developments will undoubtedly add an extra layer of intrigue to Thursday night's game. However, for managers like Postecoglou, the focus remains on the pitch and delivering a performance worthy of their team's potential.
