Rashford Slams Rumors of Wanting New Agent to Engineer Manchester United Exit

Marcus Rashford has dismissed rumors that he is looking to leave Manchester United, describing reports of him seeking a new agent as 'ridiculous'.

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has strongly denied rumors that he is seeking a new agent to facilitate a transfer away from Old Trafford. The 27-year-old England international described the reports as “ridiculous.”

Rashford's response comes after a recent report claimed that he had held talks with a prominent sports agency, sparking speculation that he was looking to engineer a move away from Manchester United. However, Rashford has moved quickly to quash these rumors and reaffirm his commitment to the club.

Marcus Rashford had sparked speculation about his future at Manchester United last month, hinting that he may be open to leaving the club. In an interview, Rashford expressed his desire for “a new challenge” after falling out of favour under new manager Ruben Amorim.

Marcus Rashford, a product of Manchester United's youth academy, has faced a challenging period, being omitted from four consecutive matchday squads last month. This spell on the sidelines began with the derby against Manchester City, and he was also an unused substitute in Monday's defeat to Newcastle. Rashford's form has been a concern, scoring just four Premier League goals this season.

Recent reports have linked Rashford to clubs like Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, fueling speculation about his future. However, Rashford has responded to these claims, denying rumors that he is planning to change agents. Taking to Instagram, Rashford wrote, “Been a lot of false stories written over the past few weeks, but guys this is getting ridiculous - never met with any agency and don't have any plans to.” He accompanied his message with a screenshot of an article from The Sun, emphasizing his frustration with the ongoing speculation.
