Agbonlahor said he was very surprised that almost no clubs made an offer for Rashford this summer, but he and Manchester United have reached the end of their relationship and he will definitely leave.
Rashford, 28, will return to Manchester United for pre-season training this summer because Barcelona did not activate his buy-out clause. A year ago, when he was on loan at Aston Villa, Villa ultimately did not sign him permanently.
Rashford's weekly wage is as high as £325,000, and he has two years left on his contract. Last season, Barcelona bore all of this salary, and now Manchester United will be responsible for this salary expense again.
Agbonlahor believes that the high salary is a major potential reason for the lack of interested teams this summer. He said on talkSPORT: "I'm really surprised that no team has made an offer for him.
I completely don't understand the Anthony-Gordon transfer deal. In my opinion, Rashford's ability is more suitable than Gordon's.
He is 28 years old, could the problem be the salary? He still has two years left on his contract with Manchester United. If other clubs sign him and offer a four-year long contract, the salary pressure would be unbearable. The whole thing is really very strange, but any team that signs him will get a top-tier player.
And his mindset seems to have improved a lot now. Before the World Cup, he also went to Miami International for extra training. During his time at Barcelona, there were no negative reports about Rashford.
After leaving Manchester, he got rid of a lot of distractions, and his mood improved a lot. If I were him or his agent, I might consider going to other clubs overseas to avoid those things that interfere with him."
However, Agbonlahor believes that this transfer stalemate will come to a conclusion in the coming weeks and months. He went on to say: "Will this drag on until the end of August before the transfer window closes?
I'm afraid that's the only way, I don't think he will continue to play for Manchester United. On the one hand, Manchester United has signed many new players, and he is no longer in the team's tactical system.
Another important thing for players, which many people may not care about: his original jersey number was taken by Matheus Cunha. I don't think he will be willing to come back, change his number, and only serve as a substitute. I think Rashford and Manchester United's relationship has come to an end, and he will definitely leave before the transfer window closes."
