Jamie Carragher says Manchester United star is not good enough for Arsenal

Jamie Carragher does not believe Marcus Rashford would improve Arsenal as the Manchester United forward eyes his next club.

Earlier this week Rashford, 27, effectively admitted he wanted to leave his boyhood club by. Admitting he was ‘ready for a new challenge’.

Rashford, who was left out of the England squad for last summer’s Euros, was omitted from. Manchester United’s squad for Sunday’s derby against Manchester City.

Ruben Amorim, who took over at United last month, hint he want to see more from. Rashford both on and off the pitch.

Speaking to football writer Henry Winter ยูฟ่าเบท after his Manchester derby snub. Rashford said: ‘If I know that a situation is already bad I’m not going to make it worse.

‘I’ve seen how other players have left in the past and I don’t want to be that person. When I leave I’ll make a statement and it will be from me.

‘When I leave it’s going to be ‘no hard feelings’. You’re not going to have any negative comments from me about Manchester United. That’s me as a person.

For me, personally, I think I’m ready for a new challenge and the next steps.’

Rashford has previously been linked with the likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Barcelona but it remains to be seen whether clubs of that calibre will be interested in a player who has stagnated over the past 18 months.

Liverpool legend Carragher believes it is time for Rashford to leave Manchester United but reckons he will have to lower his expectation in terms of the size of his next club.

‘I think it’s time for him to move on but I’ve seen things in the papers about Real Madrid, Barcelona and PSG,’ Carragher said on Stick to Football podcast.

It’s Marcus Rashford… am I missing something? He can’t get in the Manchester United team, he’s not even in the England squad.’

Ex-Manchester United defender Gary Neville then asked if Rashford would improve Arsenal, who have struggled in front of goal this season and could look to sign a new forward in January.

A surprised Carragher responded: ‘Rashford? No!

‘Oh my god, he had a four-month spell under Erik ten Hag when United were on fire.
