Man Utd star 'ready to quit' the club after questioning if he's good enough as shock transfer talks begin for move away

Marcus Rashford could be followed by another Manchester United star in the Old Trafford exit door.

Another Manchester United exit could be on the cards after Marcus Rashford's move to Barcelona was confirmed.

It's already been a summer of change at Old Trafford, who allowed Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof to leave on free transfers in addition to Jonny Evans announcing his retirement.

And on Wednesday Rashford became the latest departee, signing on loan for Barcelona with the option of a £30 million permanent move at the end of the season.

So far Ruben Amorim has brought in Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Diego Leon as he looks to chop up his squad for his first full campaign in the Premier League.

But there's word on another expected exit, with Luke Shaw reportedly ready to finally move on from United after 11 years with the club.

Shaw signed from Southampton for a fee of £30 million back in 2014 and has made 287 appearances in a spell which has been hampered by a constant stream of injuries.

With new arrival Leon competing with Patrick Dorgu and Diogo Dalot on the left side of the backline, as well as Shaw's fitness being a major concern, The Sun say he is willing to listen to offers.

Unlike outcasts, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia, Shaw has been with the United squad and remains a popular figure in the dressing room.

The 30-year-old featured in the first friendly against Leeds and has travelled to the United States for further fixtures against West Ham, Bournemouth and Everton but is understood to be aware that there is interest from Saudi Arabia.

While Amorim is not desperate to move him on, Shaw faces a tough decision as he moves towards the end of his career.

He only played 12 times in all competitions last season after a calf problem kept him out for three months.

Shaw did return to play in the Europa League final defeat to Spurs and was frank about the club's disappointing season, which saw them finish in lowly 15th and fail to win a trophy.

"We're very sorry for what they have had to go through this season. Like I said, it's been nowhere near good enough, and I can only apologise for that," Shaw said to the BBC after the 1-0 loss in Bilbao.

"It hurts a lot. This season has not been good enough. Us as players, we have to question if we're good enough for Man United because this season is not acceptable.

"Where we are in the league, the results we've had, it's not acceptable for a club like Manchester United that has won multiple trophies and always been one of the biggest teams in the world.

"After results like this [against Tottenham], the season we've had, we have to question ourselves. It's about where we go from here. Ruben for sure has a plan. He knows exactly what's needed at this club. He'll turn it around."

United are back in action in the early hours of Sunday when they take on West Ham in their first 'Premier League Summer Series' game at the Metlife Stadium.
