'Stop spreading malicious rumours' - Marcus Rashford hits out at Man Utd transfer speculation after Red Devils' dismal start to season

The England international forward only signed a new contract with the Red Devils back in July, with those terms set to keep him at Old Trafford until 2028. Questions are, however, already been asked of whether said deal will be honoured.

That is because Rashford, who hit 30 goals last season for the first time in his career, has struggled for form in the 2023-24 campaign. After posting personal bests in 2022-23, the 26-year-old has found the target on just one occasion this term through 14 appearances.

That has led some to speculate that his days at United may be numbered, with Erik ten Hag desperate to find a reliable source of attacking inspiration in his underperforming squad, but Rashford has addressed the gossip by responding to a report from The United Stand by saying: “Please STOP spreading malicious rumours.”

Rashford has spent his entire career to date with United, as a product of their famed academy system, and has now taken in 373 appearances for the Premier League giants. He has hit 124 goals, but will need no reminding of the fact that his standards have dipped again in the current campaign.
