Rashford: I did consider Man Utd departure

Manchester United star Marcus Rashford has admitted he considered ending his association with the club last summer.

The England forward was at his lowest point as a United player, having been out of favor under interim coach Ralf Rangnick.

However, Erik ten Hag came in and assured Rashford he was a key part of his plans, leading to a renaissance last season.

On possibly departing, Rashford stated, “Before the manager came, maybe a little bit, but it's football, it happens. Everything is going to happen for a reason and he came to the club at the right time for me, the timing worked out.

“Now the conversation is a little bit different because I think it's clear, the manager is very ambitious and has been since the minute he stepped in. I didn't really have doubt in my mind about that.

“I'm hungry to keep improving, for the players and the staff to keep improving and getting used to each other, pushing ourselves to be better than we were the year before. Ultimately, that's the only way we're going to get back to winning trophies consistently."
