Marcus Rashford has reportedly held talks with Gareth Bale’s former agency as he steps up his bid to leave Manchester United.
Rashford is stepping up his efforts to finalise an exit from Manchester United this month and has accordingly approached leading sports agency ‘Stellar’ to help him find a new club, as per The Sun. Stellar was famously responsible for paving the way for Gareth Bale’s then-world record £86 million ($108m) move to Real Madrid from Tottenham in 2013.
Rashford is currently managed by his brother Dwaine Maynard, but the England international now wants more people working in the background to make sure he finds a proper exit route from Old Trafford this year. The 27-year-old revealed his intention to leave his boyhood club last month, claiming he is looking for a “new challenge” in his career.
Ruben Amorim finally called back Rashford to Manchester United’s matchday squad for their clash against Newcastle on Monday after leaving him out of the club’s previous three Premier League outings. Rashford did not see any action in the 2-0 defeat, though, as he was left on the bench for the entire game.
The Red Devils will hope to get back to winning ways this Sunday as they are all set to lock horns against arch rivals and Premier League leaders Liverpool at Anfield. It remains to be seen if Rashford will be named in Amorim’s squad again as he continues to be linked with an exit from Old Trafford.
