It is looking increasingly likely that Marcus Rashford will be on his way out of Manchester United in the near future.
Having come through the Old Trafford academy, the 27-year-old local boy has been at the club since 2005.
However, despite numerous high points throughout his career, he has failed to impress over the past year and, most importantly, under new boss Ruben Amorim.
His behaviour off the football pitch has also been called into question after he and Alejandro Garnacho were dropped for Man United's 2-1 over Man City on Sunday.
According to talkSport, Saudi club Al-Ittihad - managed by ex-United defender Laurent Blanc - are among the teams interested in signing the out-of-favour attacker.
After the Manchester derby, Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher was adamant in his views on Rashford and his position at Man United.
He said: "We talk about Marcus Rashford too much.
"It's time for him to leave the club.
"I think a parting of ways is inevitable, and I think for Manchester United and Rashford, the quicker that comes the better."
Amorim also offered insight into his reasons for dropping Rashford and Garnacho: "Selection.
"We try to evaluate everything - training, performance, game performance, engagement with the teammates, push the teammates up.
"Everything is on the line when we analyse and try to choose the players, so it was my selection. Simple.
"I don't want to send a message (to the dressing room with this). It's simply an evaluation, and they know it.
"The players are really, really smart and so everybody understands my decision and I have to choose. It's just a simple selection.
"Of course the context is difficult - we have to win games and we have a difficult situation now.
"But, like I said, I pay attention to everything - the way you eat, the way you put on your clothes to go the game. Everything.
"I make my evaluation and then I have to decide. I have a lot of players to choose (from) and today I did my choice."
