Manchester United fans have taken to social media to react to Marcus Rashford's shock admission that he is ready to leave Old Trafford.
Rashford was left out of the squad by Ruben Amorim for United's dramatic 2-1 derby win over Manchester City on Sunday, just days after Mail Sport exclusively revealed the club are willing to listen to offers of around £40million for the forward.
And in an interview with journalist Henry Winter on Tuesday, Rashford revealed he could leave the club in the near future.
“For me personally, I am ready for a new challenge and the next steps,” he said.
“If I leave, there won't be any hard feelings. You won't get any negative comments from me about Man United.'
Rashford has been at United for 20 years after being picked up by the club's academy at the age of seven. Supporters have admitted that losing their local hero would be a tough blow.
“Marcus Rashford's departure will always hurt,” one fan wrote on
'Only eleven players in our history have scored more than him. This one hits deep.'
Another wrote: 'You will always be remembered as a true red Marcus Rashford,' alongside a photo of Rashford who lifted several trophies during his time at the club.
United are expected to sell players in the next two transfer windows to ensure they adhere to the Profit and Sustainability Regulations (PSR).
Homegrown players count as pure profit, which could explain why Rashford is being lined up for a transfer by the club's hierarchy.
However, some fans are angry that the Red Devils have found themselves in such a predicament.
'Whether you like Marcus Rashford or not, whether you think he is good enough or not, it is very sad that our club is in the state where an academy graduate, one of our all-time top scorers and someone who sometimes worn during a number of years. of the toughest years are essentially being forced to leave,” one supporter added.
Another fan went even further, writing: 'Absolute joke, Manchester United can't sell Marcus Rashford.
'A player who has been here since day 1, absolute shame. Still so many problems in the team before it reaches Marcus. If Marcus is forced to leave, I will have INEOS out. Man born and bred.'
Rashford has struggled with form over the past 18 months after scoring 30 goals in Erik ten Hag's first season.
But that excellent campaign and his overall record since entering the first team as an 18-year-old in 2016 has convinced some that United would be making a mistake if they let Rashford go.
'If Manchester United lose Marcus Rashford they will regret it. Bookmark this tweet,” one fan wrote.
