Marcus Rashford ‘sent home’ from Man Utd training before announcing transfer plan -Reports

A day before declaring his intention to leave Manchester United, Marcus Rashford was reportedly sent home from training due to an illness.

When he was unable to join his teammates on the turf at Carrington on Monday, the 27-year-old’s attempts to compete for his spot in Ruben Amorim’s plans were derailed.

Rashford was healthy enough to visit his former Wythenshawe primary school, Button Lane, on Tuesday, which was a day off for United’s first team.

He chatted with journalist Henry Winter at a long-planned event where the Red Devils No. 10 gave 420 Christmas presents to every student he visited.

In an interview with Winter, who has reported on several of Rashford’s charitable endeavors, Rashford stated that he was prepared to walk

“For me, personally, I think I’m ready for a new challenge and the next steps,” Rashford explained

“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. Yes [I’ll always be a Red]! 100 per cent. 100 per cent.”

Mail Sport report that a day earlier, Rashford didn’t take part in training less than 24 hours after United’s incredible 2-1 victory against Manchester City.

Amorim excluded Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho from his matchday squad due to poor form in matches and training, making it clear that he wasn’t ready to shoulder any slackers during his rebuild
The report claimed that Rashford followed the correct protocol by attending Carrington, where a doctor assessed him

He was deemed to have a high temperature before being instructed to leave the training complex and recover at home

On Thursday, United travel to Tottenham in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals in search of back-to-back away wins against ‘Big Six’ rivals

Given that Rashford was absent from training on Monday and had a day off the following day, it seems unlikely he will return to action in north London.

It’s up in the air whether the academy graduate will play for the club again after his public comments. Amorim may understandably focus on players who fit his long-term vision.

Either way, an emotional farewell is on the cards as early as next month
