Gary Neville believes Marcus Rashford’s time as a Manchester United player is over after Ruben Amorim’s latest comments about the forward.
Rashford has now been left out of the squad for United’s last three games and he has publicly stated that he feels “ready for a new challenge”. In his absence, United have beaten rivals Manchester City, been knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Tottenham and suffered a 3-0 loss to Bournemouth.
However, when asked after the Bournemouth defeat if Rashford would be back in the squad when United travel to Wolves on Boxing Day, Amorim refused to give any clarity on the situation.
“It depends. We will see,” the Portuguese replied. “It’s my decision and it always will be. It is selection. I want to see the best of my players and I try different things with different players. That’s my focus.”
And Neville believes an immediate exit “will probably work for both parties”, with the January transfer window set to open in just over a week. “It is not really big team news any more,” Neville said of Rashford’s latest omission.
“It is something of a norm, a pattern has developed over the last week. It was a surprise last weekend. It is getting to the point where you leave him out three games on the bounce something really is obviously going wrong or has gone wrong.
“And it is not looking great for both Marcus’ future at the club or Manchester United keeping him either. I suspect it is getting to that point in the journey where it has got an inevitable ending.

“It is a distraction for the manager. It does become obvious that he probably has to leave and that the club want him to leave – it will probably work for both parties. There are good examples as well of players who have struggled at United.
“Jadon Sancho has gone to Chelsea and is doing better, Scott McTominay wasn’t struggling but he left to go to Napoli and he is doing well, so Marcus might think it is the right thing for him as well.”
