Rio Reacts: Marcus Rashford’s New Challenge

Rio Ferdinand reacts to Rashford’s latest interview in which he suggests his time at Old Trafford is coming to an end.

The timing of this interview, in the week after he was dropped for the Manchester Derby, indicates that the academy product sees his future elsewhere.

Rio discusses how Ruben Amorim’s tactical switch may have accelerated this decision and looks back at his career since emerging from the youth team at Old Trafford.

He should have taken a lesson from Harry Maguire and just work hard to perform on the pitch rather than giving interviews.Maguire was criticized by everyone but he only worked hard to get his form back.

[mikeid]

The media talk Rashford like he was Messi Or Ronaldo is an insult to football

[NomadJoe]

Well said. His body language told us that he just wasn’t there anymore both mentally and emotionally. Reminds of how Pogba was at the end.

[davidsedlickas]

A new 5 year contract on £320k a week was utter madness.
Performance related results should be the rewards.
Footballers pay is ridiculous beyond sense.

[onekajames]

The faster he gets out, the better. United needs lads that are 100% into the club period.

[JCBolger]

He doesn’t wanna work as hard as Amorim demands. Simple as that

[Hajj__Yahoozee]

You can't be scoring 7 and 8 PL goals on 320k a week at Man United and thinks people are criticising him for no reason
He's just not good enough and moreover Man United needs to come first before any individual

[ShatteredCarcosa]

Rashford, 27 YO, the eternal prospect. 350k/Week, Amad 28k/Week.

[karannegi]

He's Lingard part 2. And this time Rio, the ex-United players and pundits cannot gaslight fans into believing otherwise. He's been taking the piss for years so theres no room for this sentimental BS

[mancunianprince]

In the wake of all this Rashford's drama, I salute Harry Maguire's maturity and professionalism.

[prabhalasasank]

I wouldn't trust a word Marcus say any more.. bcz as a big fan.. my expectation was to see a reaction in training and in game.. instead he chose to do this.. outburst doesn't feel right to me.. times up I guess..

[DarthBreezus]

Good upper body strength to the person holding the camera for you Rio!! LOL

[Mj.Brouhaha]

Should've gone years ago. The majority of the current squad aren't good enough to play for United, he's one of them.

[lrpurba]

For me, new challenge doesn't mean new place, but the important thing is new thinking, thought process, attitude. Let's go my man ... Go for it!!!

[chanvilleify]

making it all about himself after utd beat city in an impressive way says a lot about how he sees himself

[flylikeaneagle]

Love the way you see things and say it how it is too. Top man.

[nicklevitt]

Hes being paid 365k a week and this is him throwing his dummy out yet again.why not say he will knuckle down and play his heart out.dreadful attitude

[reecescott]

Rio that contract the Rashyeee signed took his soul with it

[jordanlawlor]

He made the situation 100% worse by having an article written without speaking with the manager. Undermined the team, the manager and the club.

[kennethgill]

Can anyone tell just what all this fuss is for about him??
Tommy doc would now be classing him as, a very ordinary footballer
