In the round of 16, Man United defeated Man City 2-1 at home in the Premier League. While the whole team was happy with the victory, Marcus Rashford had the opposite situation. Because before the match, the English striker was removed from the main squad for many reasons.
According to legend Jamie Carragher, coach Amorim was right not to use Rashford. He told Sky Sports: “I mean, is Marcus Rashford in the best team at Man United? How good is he? He’s not a world-class star.
I think we talk too much about Rashford. He's good, but he's never been great. It's time for Rashford to leave Man United, the sooner the better. But I don't know if anyone will want him, because his wages are too high."
Rashford currently earns £300,000 a week at Man United. In addition, he receives an additional £75,000 in bonuses. With a contract until 2028, selling Rashford to any team will be extremely difficult.
In the summer of 2024, there was a time when PSG wanted to bring the 27-year-old to the Parc des Princes to replace Mbappe, but the deal did not go anywhere. In addition, Saudi Pro League teams such as Al-Qadsiah and Al-Ittihad were also unable to convince Rashford to leave.
This season, Rashford has only scored 4 goals and 1 assist after 15 matches. However, it cannot be denied that the English striker is one of the heroes of Man United. After 426 matches for the Red Devils, he scored 138 goals and 64 assists, helping the home team win 1 Europa League, 2 FA Cups and 2 League Cups.
