Marcus Rashford appeared glum as he departed Manchester United’s Carrington training ground following reports of his desire to leave the club.
The 27-year-old striker, captured in the back seat of a chauffeur-driven Bentley, has sparked speculation about his future after a bombshell interview hinted at his intention to move on from Old Trafford. Rashford’s uncertain stance has sent shockwaves through the club’s fanbase as rumors of a potential exit gain momentum.

He was also spotted in the back seat as he headed home from Carrington yesterday.
Rashford, currently serving a six-month driving ban, did his best to avoid the cameras as he sat in the back of the blacked-out vehicle with his hood up.
The Man Utd striker got the new £200,000 Flying Spur Azure so he can be ferried to training in comfort.
An onlooker said: “Marcus looked very glum and as though he is carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.”Earlier this month Rashford said he was “ready for a new challenge” two days after being left out of new manager Ruben Amorim’s squad for the Derby day clash against Man City on December 15.
The striker said: “Personally, I think I’m ready for a new challenge and the next steps.”
He has now been left out of the last four squads. United play Newcastle tomorrow.
Rashford has scored 138 goals in 426 appearances for the club since making his debut in 2016, having come through the United academy.He signed a £350,000-a-week contract after scoring 30 goals in the 2022-23 campaign.
But he has struggled to replicate that form, scoring just four times so far this season.
