'No hard feelings' - Marcus Rashford reveals how he will announce Manchester United exit

Marcus Rashford says he will have 'no hard feelings' if he decides to leave Manchester United in the near future.

The 27-year-old was omitted from the United squad from their Manchester derby win over Man City at the weekend and then dropped the bombshell revelation he was considering his future at Old Trafford.

Rashford has struggled for consistency over the last 18 months and has lost his starting role at United, as well as his regular place in the England squad. He was not included in Gareth Southgate's side that reached the final of the European Championship in the summer.

Ruben Amorim insisted his absence from the derby win over City was not due to any disciplinary issue, but rather down to performance reasons, which sparked fresh speculation over his future.

Speaking in an interview with football writer Henry Winter, Rashford revealed he felt 'ready for a new challenge' but insisted he will make a statement to address supporters if he ever ends up leaving the club. “If I know that a situation is already bad I'm not going to make it worse. I've seen how other players have left in the past and I don't want to be that person," he said. "When I leave I'll make a statement and it will be from me.

"When I leave it's going to be 'no hard feelings'. You're not going to have any negative comments from me about Manchester United. That's me as a person. For me, personally, I think I'm ready for a new challenge and the next steps."
