Redknapp urges Rashford to quit Man Utd over Alexis arrival

Published on: 30 January 2018

Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp has encouraged Marcus Rashford to leave Manchester United.

Redknapp admitted he feels "sorry" for the youngster who will inevitably find first team football harder to come by as a direct result of Alexis Sanchez joining the ranks at Old Trafford.

"I just feel for people like Marcus Rashford. They go down the pecking order and he's probably thinking where do I fit in now," he told the Daily Mail.

"Part of the Premier League is having these players but I just feel sorry when someone like Marcus Rashford is going to be thinking 'this is another pathway blocked for me.'

"He might have to go in the end. It doesn't help your confidence. Every time you are training you think 'I'm not going to play on Saturday'.

"This is a great talent, make no mistake. I speak to players who go to the England camp with him and they are as impressed with him as anybody.

"He probably needs to go and play football somewhere.

"It is a shame but that's modern day football and that's why it's so hard for young British players to get opportunities."
