"I think I’m ready for a new challenge and the next steps," he said when asked about his career.
Rashford's future appears to lie away from Old Trafford, but his £325,000-a-week wages are a potential obstacle to any sale.
According to The Telegraph, his preference would be a move to Spain.

However, a switch to Real Madrid or Barcelona could prove to be difficult to engineer.
Real are well stocked in attack and there are 'serious doubts' about how Barca could fund a transfer given their financial situation.
Paris Saint-Germain have been long-term admirers of Rashford, and it remains to be seen if any Premier League suitors make a play for the forward.
Per the report, signing Rashford would be considered a 'huge coup' for Saudi clubs.
