Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock has claimed that Manchester United’s hierarchy is pushing Marcus Rashford out of the club.....Click Here To Read Full Article >>
Warnock insisted that the Red Devils’ chiefs are attempting to cut costs by making life difficult for Rashford, who is among the top earners at the club. Rashford’s future at Manchester United is currently uncertain after he admitted he was “ready for a new challenge,” hinting at a potential exit from Old Trafford.
His comments followed his omission from the squad that defeated Manchester City a few days ago.
Rashford was then dropped for the weekend match against Bournemouth, where Ruben Amorim’s side was defeated 3-0.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Warnock said: “He [Rashford] has come out and obviously made the statement. What we’ve seen behind the scenes is there’s a lot of cost-cutting. But what we also know is he’s potentially their biggest earner.”
“Now, is that the ownership coming in and saying, ‘Absolutely not, we’re going to set this wage structure, and we’re going to make sure we bring that down. He’s the first one who’s got to go?’
“So how do you do that? You frustrate a player. You make life difficult for him. I’ve been in that situation where someone has come in and said, ‘You’re not the player for me.’
“And I get the sense that he’s being forced out of the club, and he’s being made the scapegoat.”
