Marcus Rashford will be done in English football if he chooses to kick-start his career abroad.
That's according to former England defender Glen Johnson, who is concerned the Manchester United star's reputation could take a major hit if he leaves the Premier League in January.
Rashford, 27, is likely to leave Old Trafford after admitting last month that he wants a new challenge. The forward is on the fringes of Ruben Amorim's plans, meaning United will have no objections to him moving ahead in the January transfer window.
However, his wages could be a sticking point as few clubs can afford his reported wages of £325,000 per week. Suiters have emerged in Italy – including AC Milan – and Saudi Arabia, although Rashford is believed to have already rejected three lucrative offers from the Saudi Pro League.
A move to Italy could be on the cards with AC Milan in talks over a six-month loan, but Johnson told BetVictor: “From the outside it doesn't look like Marcus Rashford has a future at the club.
“He is still a very good player who can offer a lot. I don't know what the internal arguments are, but if it is not his character and personality, then I think he will get a lot of offers because of his character.” skill.
“However, if he does not train with the group due to his character or behavior, the list of clubs that are willing to take him suddenly becomes a lot smaller.
“I hope Rashford doesn't move abroad because as far as his reputation is concerned that would be the end of him. I know it can be hard to turn down those moves because of the amount of money but he is still too young .” .
“For someone of his ability, he hasn't done much in the game yet and if he goes to Saudi Arabia he won't come back.
“It all depends on the reasons why he is not performing, whether he is not happy at United or doesn't feel like it anymore. If he still wants to win things then I think he has the opportunity to sign a contract .” decent team, unfortunately he does it every other game, instead of week in, week out.”
