Meanwhile, former Brighton player Glenn Murray has shared insights on Marcus Rashford’s career at Manchester United, urging the British player to move to a new club.
Murray has observed Rashford’s struggles with form under various managers and suggests that a change could reignite his passion for the game.
This season, Rashford has scored seven goals and provided three assists in 24 appearances, though his playing time has diminished under the new head coach, Ruben Amorim.
Murray expressed concern for the England international, saying, “I feel like it’s the right time for him to leave the football club. He has carried the expectations of Manchester United for too long. A fresh start could allow him to enjoy his football again and thrive in a different environment.”
