Giggs went down memory lane on the first time he saw Marcus Rashford, revealing that from that time, he knew Marcus Rashford would be a great player.

Ryan Giggs revealed that there was a small game, and Marcus Rashford managed to score a series of goals and from that time, he started training at Old Trafford.

However, as time went by, Marcus Rashford seemed to lose his spark and pointed out that the 27-year-old even looks happier at Aston Villa.

“I don't think he looked happy at United. I think he looks happier now. Which is a shame because obviously I'd seen him as a part of the staff when we'd given him his debut,” Giggs said in an interview on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast.

“And he was just like any young player, just playing with freedom. He doesn't look like that. For Marcus and for United, I think it's best if they part ways. He'd be a brilliant player for someone, but I don’t know who.”

Marcus Rashford signed a contract with Manchester United until 2028, and it is up to the club to decide whether to keep the England international, sell him or send him out on loan again.

As per the Daily Mail, Marcus Rashford is at liberty to decide his next move, with his representatives set for talks from mid-June.

It was also reported that Marcus Rashford is looking for a slot in the Champions League, and since his exit from Manchester United, his form has improved.

Rashford is focused on finishing the season at Villa after helping them reach the FA Cup semi-finals against Crystal Palace at Wembley on Saturday. The team is also in contention for a return to the Champions League.
