In pictures: Marcus Rashford and Man United, the story so far

Marcus Rashford has said he is "ready for a new challenge" as a move away from his club Manchester United looks all the more likely.

He was left out of the team's squad for the Manchester derby at the weekend, which United dramatically won 2-1, with manager Ruben Amorim appearing to question Rashford's effort in training.

Speaking at a visit to his old primary school in Manchester, Rashford said: "For me, personally, I think I'm ready for a new challenge and the next steps."

So lets look back at some of the moments that have marked his career so far.

Rashford the wonderkid!

Rashford's breakthrough came in 2016, scoring on his Manchester United debut at the age of 18

Having first joined the club at the age of seven, Rashford's breakthrough came in 2016 against Danish club, Midtjylland.

After an injury crisis, Rashford started the game, and marked his debut with two goals - making him United's youngest ever scorer in European competition.

Three days later he scored two more goals on his Premier League debut against Arsenal.

Later that season United went on to win the FA Cup, with Rashford starting the game.

At the age of 18, Rashford now had his first winners medal. He was also recognised with an individual award, winning United's Young Player of the Year award.

Rashford scored on his England debut too

Less than four months after making his United debut, Rashford was named as part of England's Euro 2016 squad.

He became the youngest Englishman to score on his international debut, scoring in a friendly against Australia.

Holiday meals for school kids

Rashford made more headlines off the pitch than on it during 2020.

Rashford successfully campaigned so that the government would make free food vouchers for children available for families during the summer holidays.

Rashford said his own experiences in childhood was the reason why he wanted to try to help people.

"It's not so much about my family anymore, because obviously the situation has changed. I just don't want people to go through the same things. It's important to understand where I came from and my background and then it's quite simple really the reason why I would try and help people that are in that situation," he said at the time.

In November 2021, Rashford was awarded an MBE by Prince William for his campaigning work.

Penalty heartbreak

In 2021, England got to the final of the delayed Euro 2020 tournament.

With the game tied at 1-1, Rashford was brought on as a substitute in the final minutes of extra time.

The game went to penalties, with Rashford chosen to take the team's third kick, but his effort hit the post and went wide, and Italy went on to win the tournament.

After the loss, Rashford was subjected to racially abusive messages on social media.

After some more injury setbacks Rashford was named in Southgate's 26-man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, scoring three goals at the tournament, before returning to Manchester United and scoring 30 goals in all competitions for the season. His highest tally in a single campaign.

He hasn't hit those heights again for club or country and didn't travel with England at all to Euro 2024.

Now his future at Manchester United in it doubt and fans will be wondering what happens next for him.
