“When I leave, there will be no hard feelings. You won't have any negative comments from me about Manchester United. That's me as a person.
“If I know a situation is already bad, I'm not going to make it worse. I've seen other players leave in the past and I don't want to be that person.
“When I leave I will make a statement and it will be from me. 100%.”
Rashford added: “I'm halfway through my career. I don't expect my peak to be now.
“I have spent nine years so far in the Premier League and that has taught me a lot, it has helped me grow as a player and as a person.
“So I have no regrets about the last nine years.
“I won't regret anything in the future because I take things day by day and sometimes bad things happen, sometimes good things happen. I just try to keep a good balance.”
