Marcus Rashford has directly responded to rumours that have circulated about his Manchester United future in recent weeks.
On New Year’s Day, Rashford posted an Instagram Story reacting to the ‘ridiculous’ rumours and called out the ‘fake stories’ that have been doing the rounds.
The 27-year-old highlighted an article in The Sun whereby the outlet reported that the Red Devils winger was in talks with an agency to help fast-track his Old Trafford exit.
The agency in question is Stellar, who were behind Gareth Bale’s record-breaking £86 million move to Real Madrid in 2013.
“Been a lot of false stories written over past few weeks, but guys this is getting ridiculous – never met with an agency and don’t have any plans to,” Rashford explained.
