The 24-year-old knows first⭕ hand about the difficulties of m✅odern life at Old Trafford, a situation Rashford currently finds himself in.

Rashford was left out of Sunday’s 2-1 win in the Manchester derby before again being omitted from the 20-man squad to face ♌Tottenham on Thursday.

In between the two matches, Rashford gave an interview to journalist Henry Winter, revealing that he is 'ready for a new challenge'.

The 27ℱ-year-old has since come in for a barrage of crit💦icism for his decision to reveal his future intentions.

Some Manchester United fans were seen unfurling an anti-Rashford banner at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium during Thursday night's Carabao Cup tie that read: "Excuses. Ta ra Marcus".

However, Wright quickly jumped to the defence of the England international on a social media pos🦩t comparing his own career trajectory with the Manchester United man.

“I got to Arsenal at 28, but you e𝓀xpect ME to write off someone with the ability Marcus [Rashford] has at 27!!!!,” Wright wrote on a video posted to The Overlap’s Instagram page.

"So many of you are desperate to see these young people fail so 🌌that you can say you were rꦺight!”

Wright doubled down on his defence of Rashford in this week’s episode of the Overlap when Gary Neville posed the idea of Rashford moving to the Emirates and providing Mikel Arteta side with a glut of goals.

"I think he has that capability, 27 is not an age to be w🌳riting someone off," Wright adꦿded.

"He has the capability. I think he is somebody in a different dressing room with a different environment around him, he has the abilꦍity.”

Rashford has b🅺een linked with a move to a number of clubs across Europe and the Middle East since revealing his future plans earlier this week.

Saudi Pro League leaders Al Ittihad are said to hold an interest in the star while links with Paris Saint-Germain continue to f🅰ester following the Ligue 1 giants’ reported attempt to sign him in 2023.

PSG are looking to bolster their lift-sided options and offer co꧙mpetition for places with winger Bradley 🐓Barcola.

There are also suggestions that out-of-favour forward Randal Kolo Muani be inserted into a swap deal to tak♌e Rashford to the French capital.
