Marcus Rashford's time at Manchester United seems to be coming to an end. However, former Arsenal player Ian Wright refuses to believe that the 27-year-old's career at the top level is over, despite his recent struggles and being left out of the squad for the Manchester derby by manager Ruben Amorim.
Rashford was also absent from United's Carabao Cup defeat against Tottenham, and in an interview before the match, he expressed his readiness for a new challenge. It has been reported that he desires a move to Spain, but options seem limited as Barcelona is facing financial difficulties and Real Madrid already has a strong forward line. Other English clubs, such as Arsenal and Chelsea, have been linked with an interest in Rashford, but they currently have other targets in mind.
Despite concerns about his form and attitude, Wright believes that Rashford still has time to turn his career around and succeed at a top-level club. He shares his own experience of joining Arsenal at the age of 28 and reminds people not to write off someone with Rashford's talent at only 27 years old.
Meanwhile, United will face Bournemouth on Sunday, and Amorim assures that Rashford is still in contention to play. When asked if Rashford's omission from the squad against Tottenham was due to his desire to leave, Amorim denies it and says it was the same as before.
In other news, Mason Mount will be out for several weeks due to his latest injury setback. Amorim promises to support the player through his recovery, as Mount has had a difficult time at United since his transfer from Chelsea in 2023. He missed four months of last season and has only played 12 times this season due to various injuries. Amorim also mentions the challenge of not having enough time to train properly when recovering from multiple injuries.
