In his exclusive Christmas column for CaughtOffside, former Aston Villa forward Stan Collymore shared his thoughts on why Rashford should consider leaving Manchester United.
“Marcus Rashford should leave Manchester United,” Collymore wrote. “I’ve been saying it for probably a couple of years now, and he should either go abroad or to a progressive Premier League club… I think there will be takers for Rashford whether that be from Germany or Italy, but I’m not so sure about Spain.
“He just needs to enjoy the game and love the game again, and I wonder if for the past five or six years whether he actually ever has. He always looks as if he’s carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. For me, it’s really simple. Either go to a wild card in terms of a Bournemouth, or head abroad to somewhere like Napoli or AC Milan.”
FootballTransfers reported this past weekend that Barcelona have reached out to Manchester United about a potential January loan move for Rashford. The Spanish giants offered a fee of £35 million (€42 million), but Manchester United has yet to respond.
