Carragher Urges Rashford to Leave Man United for a Fresh Start
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has publicly advised Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford to consider leaving the club.
The 27-year-old forward was notably absent from the squad during United’s recent victory over rivals Manchester City.
Rashford’s struggles aren’t limited to club football.
He has also found himself excluded from Gareth Southgate’s England squad, which raises further concerns about his form and standing in top-tier football.
Carragher, speaking on Sky Bet’s Stick to Football podcast, didn’t mince words about Rashford’s situation.
“I think it’s time for him to move on,” Carragher said.
“I’ve seen stories linking him to these massive clubs, but am I missing something?
He can’t get into the Manchester United team, and he’s not even making the England squad.”
