Former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster has brutally ripped into Marcus Rashford, slamming the forward’s inconsistency and lack of motivation.
Rashford has been left out of the last few United matchday squads by Ruben Amorim amidst ongoing speculation over his future at the club.
Last week, the England international spoke to journalist Henry Winter and revealed that he is ready to leave United in search of greener pastures.
Rashford has struggled for form since an excellent 2022/23 season in which he plundered a career-high 30 goals across all competitions. Since then, he has only managed 12 Premier League goals across one-and-a-half campaigns.
There has been a lot of debate regarding Rashford and Foster became the latest to weigh in on his situation.
Speaking on his Cycling GK podcast [via The Daily Mail], Foster pointed out, “Marcus Rashford…There’s so many people that talk about him that say ‘on his day, on his day.’”
“His day is once every 10 games. Genuinely, it’s once every 10 games and you can’t have a luxury player in the modern game that will give you one game out of 10, it’s as simple as that. ”
“Coupled with the fact that he gets so much reputation and baggage and everything that comes with it, I don’t think Mikel Arteta wants that anywhere near that Arsenal.”
“He has to get away from Manchester United. I think it’ll be an MLS (move) or something. It’s going to have to be a massive wage cut.”
Foster added, “Once that fire goes, can you get that back? It has to come from him. I don’t think he can get it back.”
“Again, you’re talking about money which does really ruin everything lads. Once people have that massive contract and they’ve got that five years in the bank and they’ve got everything they’ll ever need for the rest of their life, that takes it (that fire) away.”
“They were talking £40m you know as well. Even 10, I ain’t paying £10m… because of everything.”
As Rashford’s exclusion from Amorim’s squads persists, the likelihood of his departure from Old Trafford in January appears to grow.
