MANCHESTER: Marcus Rashford is reportedly doubling down on his efforts to leave Manchester United this month as he holds talks with top sporting agencies.
Before losing to Newcastle, Rashford was left out four times by new manager Ruben Amorim, sparking speculation about the striker’s future at Old Trafford.
Rashford then revealed he was willing to take on the new challenge and has now taken the first step in his bid to leave United.
According to The Sun, Rashford has met with leading sports agency Stellar to help him leave Old Trafford in this month’s transfer window.
The same agency helped Gareth Bale move from Tottenham Hotspur to Real Madrid in 2013.
The United star is currently represented by his brother Dwaine Maynard who is ready to work with Stellar to make his brother’s move happen.
Rashford’s last appearance for United was on December 12 when he played 56 minutes against Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League.
He was dropped from the squad for the games against Manchester City, Tottenham, Bournemouth and Wolves.
Rashford, whose contract with United only expires in the summer of 2028, made 426 appearances for the club and scored 138 goals.
