25-Year-Old Manchester United Star Reveals Desire to Secure Old Trafford Exit
Marcus Rashford confessed to having doubts about his future with Manchester United and considered leaving before Erik ten Hag’s arrival.
It remains debatable whether Erik ten Hag has revitalized and transformed Manchester United.
Recent testimonials from elite players indicate, however, that the Dutchman possesses a quality that propels the club in the correct direction.
A season in which he led Manchester United back to the Champions League and won the Carabao Cup will be an excellent beginning for Ten Hag.
Until now, the summer window has provided more positive moments than in a considerable amount of time.
The fact that Marcus Rashford signed a new contract with Manchester United is a significant factor.
The potential extension ended all rumors connecting the 25-year-old with an exit, despite the fact that several clubs had been interested in signing him.
Rashford had an outstanding season, netting 30 goals in all competitions for Manchester United and establishing himself as one of the league’s top attackers.
However, the forward had ties to PSG and reportedly turned down a lucrative contract to remain at Old Trafford.
Now, the Daily Mail published the 25-year-old’s thoughts on departing the club following the 2021-22 campaign. He insisted that Ten Hag was a significant factor in his decision to remain with the club, where he anticipates great success.
Rashford stated,“Before the manager came maybe a little bit. But it’s football, it happens.”
“Everything is going to happen for a reason and he (Ten Hag) came to the club at the right time for me. The timing worked out.
“Now the conversation is a little bit different because I think it’s clear, the manager is very ambitious, and he has been since the minute he stepped in. I didn’t really have doubt in my mind about that.
“I’m hungry to keep improving and the squad and the players and the staff keep improving and getting used to each other, pushing ourselves to be better than we were the year before. That’s the only way we’re going to get back to winning trophies consistently.”
Prior to the start of the season, Ten Hag had to alter his tactical strategy, and rumors suggested he would play Rashford primarily on the left wing.
For this, he required a striker, and Manchester United have reached an agreement with Atalanta for Rasmus Hojlund to become their main No. 9 for the upcoming season.
Rashford will hope to maintain his exceptional form, which must continue if Manchester United are to contend for the Premier League championship.
