Rooney said Rashford “needs to leave” United
Rashford has been dropped out of the last 11 matchday squads for United by manager Ruben Amorim.
Amorim said that Rashford “has to change” if he is to ever play for the club again.
Rooney, United’s top goalscorer of all-time, said it’s time for the 27-year-old to move on “to have a fresh start.”
“I’ve spoken to Marcus a couple of times and I’ve given him my thoughts and my opinion,” Rooney said on The Overlap.
“I said you need to leave the football club because whatever is going on in his life and whatever is going on at Manchester United, he’s not the same. It’s not him.”
“So I said for him, to have a fresh start, he needs to leave the club. The fact that your manager is coming out and saying that you are not training right is crazy.”
“With Marcus, it’s been going on for two years and it’s sad. It’s really sad.”
“Embarrassing”
Rooney, who was recently sacked as manager of English second-tier side Plymouth Argyle, briefly played with Rashford for club and country.
Rashford, 27, previously mentioned that he is “ready for a new challenge.”
However, he has yet to find a January transfer away from the club.
“I went into Carrington on Sunday to take my kids to game day, and Marcus was out on the training pitch with the fitness coach,” Rooney said.
“But he was right over towards where the parents were walking past for the kids’ games. I looked at him, thinking how embarrassing it must be for him as parents walk past.”
“I was surprised when [Rashford’s training issues] started over two years ago, but now I’m not.”
