Rashford slams 'ridiculous' claim over potential Manchester United exit

Marcus Rashford has strongly refuted "ridiculous" suggestions that the troubled Manchester United forward is seeking new representation to facilitate his departure from Old Trafford.

Media reports suggested the England international had discussions with a prominent sports agency to orchestrate a transfer.

The 27-year-old had previously indicated potential openness to departing United during an interview in the previous month.

He expressed readiness "for a new challenge" following his reduced role under incoming manager Ruben Amorim.

The United academy product was left out of four consecutive match squads last month, beginning with the Manchester City fixture, followed by his unused substitute role in Monday's Newcastle defeat.

His performance has declined significantly in recent campaigns, with only four Premier League goals this season.

Recent speculation has connected him with potential moves to Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea.

However, Rashford, currently managed by his sibling Dwaine Maynard, addressed these transfer rumours by confirming his agent status remains unchanged.

"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 posted on Instagram.
