Manchester United legend Gary Neville has weighed in on the speculation surrounding Marcus Rashford’s future at Old Trafford, suggesting that a move away from the club might be beneficial for both the player and the team.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Neville drew parallels with other players who left United and found success elsewhere, sparking debate among fans and pundits.
“Look at Sancho, McTominay… It’ll probably work for both parties,” Neville remarked. “There are good examples of players who have struggled at Man Utd and gone on to do better elsewhere.”
Neville cited Jadon Sancho, now thriving at Chelsea, as an example of how a change in environment can reignite a player’s form and confidence.
He also referenced Scott McTominay, who has been flourishing at Napoli after leaving United, noting that while McTominay didn’t necessarily struggle at Old Trafford, his career has reached new heights since his move.
Rashford, a product of United’s famed youth academy, has long been a fan favorite at the club, but his form has come under scrutiny in recent months.
Despite his undeniable talent and contributions over the years, the forward has faced criticism for inconsistency during key moments of United’s campaign.
“Marcus might think that’s the right thing for him as well,” Neville added, hinting that Rashford could consider a fresh start to rediscover his best form.
The comments have sparked a lively debate among Manchester United supporters.
Some believe that Rashford remains a vital part of the team and argue that his recent dip in form is temporary.
Others, however, agree with Neville’s assessment, suggesting that a move could rejuvenate the player and allow United to rebuild with a more cohesive squad.
Rashford has not publicly commented on the speculation surrounding his future, but his performances in the coming weeks will likely shape the narrative.
For United, who are navigating a challenging season, decisions regarding key players like Rashford could prove pivotal as the club looks to return to its former glory.
Neville’s remarks have also drawn attention to the broader issue of player development at Manchester United.
With several high-profile players finding success after leaving Old Trafford, questions are being raised about the club’s ability to maximize its talent pool.
As the January transfer window approaches, Rashford’s future will undoubtedly remain a topic of intense discussion, both on and off the pitch.
