The legend Rio Ferdinand, Manchester United, believes that the high level of control on Marcus Rashford has pushed him to the exit door of Old Trafford.
During a Bombshell interview in December, Rashford revealed that he was 'ready for a new challenge' away from his boy's club after nine years in the first team.
Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund and Napoli belong to the clubs that are linked to a loan movement for the English international before the transfer window closes on 3 February.
The 27-year-old has not played under Ruben Amorim since he was made public with his desire to leave Manchester United and Ferdinand believes that it is one of the faces of the club, has taken his toll.
Ferdinand, who only spoke to email sport in Dubai, said: 'Manchester United, also people around Marcus, must ensure that he leaves both mentally and physically in the best tact. Mentally even more important because I think he has been persuaded for a few years now.
'But that also comes on the territory of a Manchester United player. And if you are stopped as one of the faces of the club, then that is a part and package unfortunately to be at Man United.
'I think it is always easy for everyone to take on and think what he should do, but I think only Marcus and his team know the benefits of staying in Manchester or at United.
'What will he leave for him cheaply? But then the question is where are you going? So there are many questions that must be answered, but only he will be able to do that.
'The only thing I would advise him on – if I was his adviser – he is never 100 percent sure that the decision he makes at this intersection is right. He is going to do something – whether he is going or remains – and when he makes that decision, he will still not be 100 percent sure. '
Amorim has had a disappointing start of life in the old Trafford-Dugout since he had become at Sporting in November, but Ferdinand, who spoke shortly after the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai, believes that short-term pain will lead to long-term winnings.
Ferdinand, however, emphasized a big mistake in Amorim's favorite education.
He adds: 'Man United must suffer in the short term instead of looking at the short -term successes. They have major problems and have to weigh out and then they become teething and hopefully they go.
'That is not going to happen overnight and it will not happen in a few months. Amorim has said that he is willing to have a little pain and pain in the short term for profit and positive time in a year.
'I don't mind 3-4-3, as long as you don't play five at the back. I think if you are registered to become five for large periods in games, then more often or not loses and you give the opposition more opportunity to win.
'We have seen teams who can play it. I think Antonio Conte is the only manager to win the Premier League to play that formation. Italy has played and successful, Inter has played and successful and there are others.
'It's all about staff. Do you have the right staff to play it? Is the group coachable to play that formation? There are many questions and answers that are needed. But I am sure that this manager works all at work.
'It is so difficult in the middle season because he has not had a preseason, he has not been in the grass for a long time to coach. He looks like a real coach who wants time on the field. He is not required, but that is why there are now a judgment and reactions of knee shocks are far away because he needs time with the team to implement his ideas. '
Man United is the game of Sunday evening in Fulham from 13th place in the Premier League.
