MANCHESTER UNITED legend Rio Ferdinand is stunned that Marcus Rashford is considering his future at the club.
The 24-year-old has struggled to find any kind of form in recent months and was ineffective after coming off the bench in the Red Devils’ 4-1 defeat to Manchester City on Sunday.
According to The Guardian, he is becoming increasingly frustrated by his lack of game time under interim boss Ralf Rangnick.
The revelation has ‘thrown’ United legend Ferdinand.
He told Vibe with Five : “That’s thrown me, I’ve got to be honest. If that’s real, I can’t believe it’s real.
“You can only talk like that when you’re playing well. You can only talk like that when you’re putting in performances and banging balls in the back of the net on a consistent basis — and Marcus isn’t doing that right now. He hasn’t played well for a while now.
“He doesn’t look happy at United, I’ve got to be honest. I watch Marcus and I feel like he has got the weight of the world on his shoulders.
“He doesn’t look happy and I don’t know what it is. The Marcus Rashford that came in… that is Man Utd.
“When he blazed through, he came in and you thought ‘oh my God, this is another product off that youth team conveyor belt coming through with energy, with spark, with quality, with class, aggression and a work ethic.’
“Those things I have mentioned just there are not what I am seeing with Marcus right now and I think if he was brutally honest with himself, I think he would admit that he hasn’t been on it.
“I don’t know where that information has come from, but I hope it hasn’t come from Marcus’ camp, because I would be embarrassed if that was my camp if I was I player and wasn’t scoring, which is my job.
“To be looking at his future and assessing his future, especially with the climate that we are in now with Man Utd, with the club struggling, being at a low-ebb, lacking confidence and being called out for how bad they are, to be looking at your future, you have to be playing well before talking like that, I’m sorry.”
Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly an option for the Red Devils academy product.
According to the Daily Mail, PSG are keen on testing United’s resolve of the player should Kylian Mbappe depart on a free transfer.
