Marcus Rashford sensationally threw his Man Utd future into doubt

And that came amid speculation the club are ready to sell the England international.

Now in an interview with journalist Henry Winter, he said: “For me, personally, I think I’m ready for a new challenge and the next steps.

“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.

“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.

“When I leave, I’ll make a statement, and it will be from me.”

Marcus Rashford drops major bombshell about 'new challenge' after Man Utd  star was snubbed for Man City win

He had previously been linked with the Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain when his deal was due to end in 2023.

However, he stayed at Old Trafford after extending his contract last year.

However, after being fired from last weekend’s Manchester derby by new manager Ruben Amorim, his future is now uncertain.

Rashford, 27, and Alejandro Garnacho were left out of Manchester United’s team for their triumph over Manchester City.

There have been rumors that the Red Devils may sell him, which has led to the exclusion.

Man United “would sell” Rashford by the summer at the latest, according to a report from Sky Germany.

It is also claimed that the club are “open to top offers” during the upcoming January transfer window.

With Rashford’s future on the line, here SunSport looks at five teams he could join.

PSG

The French champions have been heavily linked with Rashford over the past few seasons.

And PSG are yet to fully replace Neymar on the left-wing, opening up the opportunity for Rashford to do so.

Bayern Munich

The German giants were linked with Rashford earlier in the season, just after the summer window.

England skipper Harry Kane could help tempt over Rashford but he would have heavy competition in Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry.

Barcelona

The Spanish champs reportedly turned their attention to Rashford after missing out on the signing of Nico Williams last summer.

Barcelona are stocked up on wide options but with Robert Lewandowski now 36, Rashford’s ability to play centrally could be key.

Arsenal

now.arsenal on X: "🚨Marcus Rashford could potentially be allowed to leave Manchester United in January. Would you like to see Arsenal sign Marcus Rashford next month? Yes or no? 🤔 https://t.co/TYHp7UVagL" /

The Gunners have never shied away from signing stars from rivals, recently Kai Havertz and Raheem Sterling from Chelsea.

And if Rashford wants to remain in the Premier League, a move to Arsenal under Mikel Arteta could attract the forward.

Chelsea

An outsider could be a move to West London – like Rashford’s former United team-mate Jadon Sancho did last summer.

But, Chelsea are well served on the left with Sancho, Joao Felix and Pedro Neto all playing on that flank this campaign.

However winger Mykhailo Mudryk is also currently suspended and faces a potential ban of up to four years after failing a drug test.
