Marcus Rashford has reportedly asked to leave Man United during the January transfer window and among the three clubs interested in the winger is the Red Devils’ Premier League rivals Aston Villa.
The Englishman has been with the Manchester club throughout his entire career and there is a certain pressure that comes with being a Man United academy graduate. Rashford has lived up to that for the most part, however, the last two campaigns have been woeful for the 26-year-old.
The winger produced just eight goals and six assists across 43 matches last season, while the current term has seen the Englishman contribute just one goal and one assist within the opening eight Premier League games.
This is well below par for a player who has produced 134 goals across his Man United career and maybe the pressure is starting to get to the United academy graduate.
According to El Nacional, Rashford has now asked to leave the Premier League giants and has told his agent to find him a new club as soon as possible, which could see the winger leave Old Trafford in January.
The report states that three clubs have shown interest in the 26-year-old but it remains to be seen if United allow him to depart midseason.
