£50m star who’s “like Ryan Giggs” must not play for Man Utd again

Manchester United are in desperate need of a summer clear-out.

For far too long, mediocrity has been accepted at Old Trafford, which has now led to a season from hell for the Red Devils, finishing in a dreadful 15th place in the Premier League under Ruben Amorim.

Marcus Rashford is surely a certainty to exit the building for good, having spent the latter stages of United’s bumpy campaign on loan at Unai Emery’s Aston Villa.

Whilst he did breathe life back into his stuttering playing days at Villa Park, the bridges have already been burnt for the homegrown attacker in Manchester, with a new destination on the cards for the much-talked-about 27-year-old.

The latest on Rashford’s future at Man United

A mightily impressive four goals and five assists donning Villa claret and blue still won’t be enough for Rashford to repair his damaged Old Trafford reputation.

Rashford’s exit route out of the building started to come into view when he was dropped for the Manchester Derby late last year by Amorim, leading to the Manchester-born number nine then finding himself rooted to the bench from that point onwards.

It’s a terribly sad ending for Rashford at his boyhood club, considering he was able to boast a hefty 215 goal contributions for United when he was a first-team regular.

But, now, it looks as if there’s no way back for the 27-year-old, with a dream move to Hansi Flick’s Barcelona reportedly in the offing.

He isn’t the only regular at the Theatre of Dreams that could soon be moved on with Amorim’s cutthroat mentality.

Not just Rashford: Man Utd star who is “like Giggs” must be axed

United supporters will be keen for a rebuild this summer, but there will be a certain tinge of sadness as to how Rashford’s journey will end, alongside Alejandro Garnacho’s potential departure.

The 20-year-old winger was previously viewed as a bright spark rising the ranks, with ex-Red Devils midfielder Paul Ince once even holding the attacker in the same high esteem as Giggs for his daring approach on the ball.

His unbelievable potential hasn’t just been all bold talk, however, with the Argentine sensation also pulling off wonder goals such as his acrobatic overhead kick against Everton.

But, despite tallying up a sturdy 48 goal contributions from 144 Old Trafford clashes away from just this moment of magic, his future at the club is up in the air after a public fall-out with Amorim saw him axed from the Europa League final.

Chelsea and Napoli are now reportedly sniffing around for the academy product for around the £50m mark and if they do receive a bid like that, they must take it.

After all, United’s finances aren’t in the best of places and after failing to secure any European football, they will need all the cash they can get. Bruno Fernandes has been linked with a mega-money move to Saudi but understandably, Amorim would rather cash in on Garnacho. That’s wise in this instance.

Yet, Rashford showed there’s still plenty to see in the footballing world away from the Theatre of Dreams during his brief Villa excursion so they must learn their lesson from that situation.

As a result, the wantaway winger will pray he goes on to have a successful career away from the shackles of United, with Amorim desperate to stamp his authority no matter what.
