Stan Collymore believes he knows the reason why, and what the solution to Rashford\u2019s problems will be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMarcus Rashford should leave Manchester United. I\u2019ve been saying it for probably a couple of years now, and he should either go abroad or to a progressive Premier League club,\u201d he said to CaughtOffside for his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caughtoffside.com\/2024\/12\/25\/collymores-christmas-column-rashford-super-league\/\">exclusive column<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/amorim-rashford-collymore-man-united-414x270.jpg.webp 414w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/amorim-rashford-collymore-man-united-630x411.jpg.webp 630w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/amorim-rashford-collymore-man-united-768x501.jpg.webp 768w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/amorim-rashford-collymore-man-united-770x502.jpg.webp 770w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/amorim-rashford-collymore-man-united-900x587.jpg.webp 900w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/amorim-rashford-collymore-man-united.jpg.webp 1184w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width:1230px) 770px, (min-width:1020px) 630px, (min-width:900px) 880px, (min-width:680px) 97vw, (min-width:414px) 414px, 100vw\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1184\" height=\"772\" src=\"https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/amorim-rashford-collymore-man-united.jpg\" alt=\"Marcus Rashford and Ruben Amorim\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/amorim-rashford-collymore-man-united-414x270.jpg 414w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/amorim-rashford-collymore-man-united-630x411.jpg 630w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/amorim-rashford-collymore-man-united-768x501.jpg 768w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/amorim-rashford-collymore-man-united-770x502.jpg 770w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/amorim-rashford-collymore-man-united-900x587.jpg 900w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/amorim-rashford-collymore-man-united.jpg 1184w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width:1230px) 770px, (min-width:1020px) 630px, (min-width:900px) 880px, (min-width:680px) 97vw, (min-width:414px) 414px, 100vw\" ><\/picture><figcaption>Ruben Amorim interacts with Alejandro Garnacho as team mates Marcus Rashford and Diogo Dalot look on during the Premier League match between Ipswich Town and Manchester United on November 24, 2024 in Ipswich, England.

Would the Cherries go for a big fish and see if he could go to a smaller pond and just enjoy his football on the south coast? That isn\u2019t so ridiculous \u2013 but would they be able to afford him?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think there will be takers for Rashford whether that be from Germany or Italy, but I\u2019m not so sure about Spain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe just needs to enjoy the game and love the game again, and I wonder if for the past five or six years whether he actually ever has. He always looks as if he\u2019s carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, it\u2019s really simple. Either go to a wild card in terms of a Bournemouth, or head abroad to somewhere like Napoli or AC Milan.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Marcus Rashford\u2019s wages will be a stumbling block<\/h2>\n<p>The stumbling block is going to be Rashford\u2019s wages of course. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capology.com\/club\/manchester-united\/salaries\/\">Capology<\/a>, the 27-year-old earns a whopping \u00a3300k per week, putting him level with captain, Bruno Fernandes, and only behind Casemiro (\u00a3350k per week) in the pecking order.<\/p>\n<p>That will almost certainly be beyond the Premier League clubs that Collymore has mentioned, and may even be too much for the likes of Milan and Napoli.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, United may have to accept that they\u2019ll lose a ton of money on a player who, whilst he didn\u2019t cost them a penny, has ended up becoming a liability.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> Jason Pettigrove<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.caughtoffside.com\/2024\/12\/25\/collymore-rashford-man-united\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A collage of Marcus Rashford and the badges of West Ham United, Bournemouth, Brighton and Hove Albion, AC Milan and Napoli.
