Marcus Rashford: Man United tipped to lose ‘four or five players’ amid ‘slap in the face’ – pundit
Kevin Campbell has urged Marcus Rashford to postpone a decision on his future until after the appointment of a new manager at Man United.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Arsenal and Everton striker suggested the 24-year-old’s fortunes could drastically change under new management.
According to Fabrizio Romano (7 March), the forward is considering his future at Old Trafford after a concerning lack of game time.
The news came after Ralf Rangnick opted against starting Rashford at Manchester City last Sunday despite the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani.
Rashford returned to the starting XI for Saturday’s 3-2 win over Tottenham but struggled to impact the game.
Campbell claimed Rangnick’s decision in the Manchester derby must have been difficult for Rashford to take.
“Look, it was a slap in the face last weekend,” he told Football Insider‘s Dylan Childs. “Without a shadow of a doubt.
“It must have been tough for him to take.
“You have to remember that the manager in there at the moment will not be the manager next season. Rashford has to wait until the new manager comes in. There’s no point making a decision on your future now because Rangnick will not be the manager. Rashford has to re-assess the situation when the new manager comes in.
“He has 18 months left on his contract so he will have to re-negotiate soon. I don’t see him leaving Manchester United.
“The club are already losing four or five players in the summer. Rashford is an important, home-grown player.”
Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Edinson Cavani, Juan Mata and Lee Grant are all expected to leave at the end of their contracts this summer.
Cristiano Ronaldo has also been heavily linked with a departure.
