Manchester United star player, Marcus Rashford, has vehemently dismissed the "ridiculous" claims that he is seeking a new agent to facilitate his departure from Old Trafford. This comes in response to recent reports suggesting that the England forward had met with a leading sports agency to orchestrate a move.
Speculation about Rashford's potential exit from Manchester United began last month when the 27-year-old hinted at being open to leaving the club during an interview. He expressed readiness "for a new challenge," following his diminished role under new boss Ruben Amorim.
Rashford, who graduated from United's youth academy, was notably absent from four consecutive matchday squads last month. This started with the derby against Manchester City and continued through Monday’s defeat by Newcastle where he remained an unused substitute.
Struggles on the field
Over the past two seasons, Rashford has been struggling with form and performance. His struggles are evident in his Premier League stats this term where he has netted just four times. These challenges have fuelled rumours about his future at Old Trafford and possible moves elsewhere.
Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea are among clubs linked with Rashford recently as potential destinations should he decide to leave Manchester United.
Response to the claims
In response to these claims about his future, Marcus Rashford took it upon himself to set things straight. Currently represented by his brother Dwaine Maynard, he insisted that there had been no change in representation or plans for an imminent exit from Old Trafford.
Dwaine Maynard, Marcus Rashford’s agent, said:
"Been a lot of false stories written over the past few weeks, but guys this is getting ridiculous - never met with any agency and don't have any plans to..."
Despite facing challenging times both on and off-field at Manchester United, it appears that for now, Marcus Rashford remains committed to staying put at Old Trafford while dismissing any rumours as 'ridiculous'. This article serves as a reminder for sports fans and betting enthusiasts alike not always to take transfer rumours at face value. It's always important to wait for official statements from the players or clubs involved before making any conclusions.
