Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has said he is “ready for a new challenge.”
Rashford, in an interview with Henry Winter, said that when he leaves Old Trafford, there will be “no hard feelings.”
His comments come two days after manager Ruben Amorim dropped him entirely from the squad for the Manchester City derby.

Amorim’s decision has led to speculation about Rashford’s future with United.
“For me, personally, I’m ready for a new challenge and the next steps,” Rashford said.
“When I leave, it’s going to be ‘no hard feelings’. You’re not going to hear any negative comments from me about Man United. That’s me. I will always be a Red.”
In other news, Ademola Lookman, recently named African Player of the Year, described the honor as “something incredible,” expressing his amazement at being recognized as the finest footballer on the continent.
The Nigerian international and Atalanta forward shared these sentiments on Monday while delivering his speech at a spectacular CAF-organized event in Marrakech, Morocco, where he was officially honored.
“This award today is a blessing to me, to my family, to my nation, and to be recognised as the best player in Africa is something incredible and I am extremely proud of,” Lookman said.
Recalling the difficult periods of his career four years ago, the 27-year-old advised young people to view failures as stepping stones rather than barriers, reminding them that their future is not bound by their past.
“Just over four years ago I failed in front of the world, fast forward to four years I am the best player in Africa,” Lookman recalled.
“I want to say to the young children and young people watching this ‘don’t let your failures weigh you down that they break your wings, turn your pain into your power and continue to fight and continue to fly’, God bless!”
