Marcus Rashford has revealed that he is considering leaving Manchester United, expressing a desire for a “new challenge” after two decades at the club.
The 27-year-old forward, who has been at United since he was seven, acknowledged the possibility of moving on, following recent reports suggesting that the club may be ready to sell him in the upcoming January transfer window.
In an interview with Henry Winter at his former primary school, where he distributed 420 presents to children, Rashford explained that he has no ill feelings towards Manchester United.
He emphasized that if he decides to leave, it will be with no animosity, stating, “When I leave, it’s going to be ‘no hard feelings.’ You’re not going to have any negative comments from me about Manchester United.”
Rashford’s comments come after he was left out of the squad for Manchester United’s recent derby against rivals Manchester City, with new manager Ruben Amorim reportedly making the decision based on the player’s recent performances.
Despite the disappointment of being omitted from such a high-profile match, Rashford remained pragmatic, saying, “It’s disheartening to be left out of a derby but it’s happened, we won the game so let’s move on.”

Looking ahead, Rashford is focused on continuing to grow as a player, with aspirations to feature in the 2026 World Cup.
He described his career as being “halfway through” and noted that he does not expect his peak to be now, highlighting his growth over his nine years in the Premier League.
He added that playing for his country in the World Cup remains a significant goal, and he would seize the opportunity again with enthusiasm if it arises.
Rashford, who has long been a key figure at United, made it clear that he remains committed to the club in the present but is also thinking about what lies ahead in his career.
He reaffirmed his deep connection to the club, saying, “Yes! 100 per cent. 100 per cent” when asked if he would always consider himself a “red.”
