Gary Neville Says Marcus Rashford's Career At Manchester United Nearing 'Inevitable Ending'

Gary Neville believes Marcus Rashford is approaching the "inevitable ending" of his Manchester United career after the forward was again left out of the matchday squad on Sunday.

Gary Neville believes Marcus Rashford is approaching the "inevitable ending" of his Manchester United career after the forward was again left out of the matchday squad on Sunday. The 27-year-old England international will sit out a third successive game United prepared to face Bournemouth in the Premier League at Old Trafford. Rashford was also omitted by new manager Ruben Amorim for last weekend's 2-1 win at Manchester City and Thursday's 4-3 League Cup quarter-final loss at Tottenham.

Rashford, a product of the United youth system, told journalist Henry Winter on Tuesday he was "ready for a new challenge and the next steps", with former United and England full-back Neville believing little can now be done to stop a parting between player and club.

"It is not really big team news any more," Neville told Sky Sports shortly before Sunday's match. "It is something of a norm, a pattern has developed over the last week. It was a surprise last weekend.

"It is getting to the point where you leave him out three games on the bounce something really is obviously going wrong or has gone wrong and it is not looking great for both Marcus's future at the club or Manchester United keeping him either.

"I suspect it is getting to that point in the journey where it has got an inevitable ending."
