The Sun has revealed that Manchester United's rising star striker Marcus Rashford has been met with silence and skepticism in the dressing room after publicly voicing his intention to leave the club. The sudden change has caused quite a shock to the team spirit of the Red Devils.
Rashford's public declaration, intended to meet a new challenge, but teammates were caught off guard. Sources close to the situation revealed, "Just as the team was beating Manchester City and morale was high, Rashford handed in a transfer request after being marginalized. The move has left some United players outraged at his comments and the timing."
Since the departure of Pogba and Lingard, Rashford has not established a deep circle of friendship at United. It is reported that his performance in the team tends to be low-key, and the leadership style is insufficient. Although he has been in the United first-team grinding 8 years, but to the outside world higher expectations do not seem to be cold.
Rashford earns a whopping £350,000 a week at United, however, according to inside sources, the club are not resistant to releasing him. The decision may have stemmed from a combination of long-term planning for the team and the financial situation.
Rashford's departure poses a new problem for Manchester United's squad and tactical layout. The team urgently needs to find a suitable replacement to maintain the competitive status at the end of the season. At the same time, United also need to properly handle Rashford's transfer to prevent further negative impact on the dressing room atmosphere and team morale.
