# Manchester United: Kevin Campbell reacts to Marcus Rashford update

**Pundit Kevin Campbell has been reacting to an update regarding Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/marcus-rashford-man-united-tipped-to-lose-four-or-five-players-amid-slap-on-the-face-pundit/) report.**

### The Lowdown: Romano’s news

Rashford was left out of the starting line up against Manchester City earlier this month, with [Fabrizio Romano](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1500746824893624323) revealing shortly after that the forward is considering his future at the club.

The 24-year-old will be into the final 12 months of his [contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marcus-rashford/profil/spieler/258923) in the summer and reportedly wants clarity over his lack of game time.

He was brought back into the side against [Tottenham](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marcus-rashford/leistungsdaten/spieler/258923) on the weekend and could well feature from the off against Atletico Madrid this evening.

### The Latest: Campbell’s comments

Campbell, who contributes for [Sky Sports](https://icdb.tv/stats/1212/Kevin-Campbell), was talking to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/marcus-rashford-man-united-tipped-to-lose-four-or-five-players-amid-slap-on-the-face-pundit/) regarding Rashford.

Ahead of the Old Trafford clash with Atletico Madrid, he urged the forward to delay making a decision on his future until a new long-term manager is in place.

> “Look, it was a slap in the face last weekend.
>
> “Without a shadow of a doubt.
>
> “It must have been tough for him to take.
>
> “You have to remember that the manager in there at the moment will not be the manager next season. Rashford has to wait until the new manager comes in.
>
> “There’s no point making a decision on your future now because Rangnick will not be the manager. Rashford has to re-assess the situation when the new manager comes in.
>
> “He has 18 months left on his contract so he will have to re-negotiate soon. I don’t see him leaving Manchester United.
>
> “The club are already losing four or five players in the summer. Rashford is an important, home-grown player.”

### The Verdict: Spot on

Even though Rashford hasn’t exactly been a regular in Ralf Rangnick’s starting XI, it would be wise to take his time regarding his long-term future.

Rangnick will more than likely move into a consultancy role in the summer, so Rashford could well be firmly in a new manager’s Old Trafford plan.

If he isn’t, then a move away could be best for all involved, but we feel Campbell is spot on by urging Rashford to delay making a call on his future.
