According to recent reports, there is a possibility that Manchester United may be considering parting ways with their talented player, Marcus Rashford. This news has sparked a lot of discussion, with Jamie Carragher sharing his thoughts on the matter. The former Liverpool defender believes that having Rashford in the team's attack will not be enough for the team to win the Premier League title.
It's no secret that Rashford had a difficult season last year under head coach Erik ten Hag, only managing to score eight goals in 43 appearances. And this season, the 27-year-old has continued to struggle with inconsistent performances. In light of these issues, there have been reports that United would be willing to sell Rashford for a price of around £40 million.
Carragher supports the idea of United moving on from Rashford and believes that new manager Ruben Amorim needs to make some changes to the squad ahead of next season. He wrote in his column for The Telegraph, "Amorim has inherited a squad that has not been performing up to its potential and is being paid high wages. It's necessary for him to trim the squad in order to invest in the players he needs."
The former defender also expressed his lack of surprise about the rumors of Rashford's sale, citing the decreasing value of many high-profile signings made by United in recent years. He believes that the team should let go of Rashford as he has not been able to live up to his hefty contract. "Only eleven goals in 48 league appearances in the last year and a half is not good enough," Carragher stated.
He also pointed out the growing drama surrounding Rashford and the unfulfilled potential he showed when he first broke into the team. At 27 years old, he should be in his prime, but Carragher believes that Rashford is not an effective leader in the team's attacking trio. He concluded, "If Rashford remains in the front line, United will never be able to win the Premier League or the Champions League."
