Marcus Rashford ‘put up for sale’ by Manchester United | Sporting News

Marcus Rashford, once Manchester United‘s golden boy, is facing uncertain times at Old Trafford.

The Telegraph suggest the Red Devils are open to transfer offers for the 27-year-old forward. Once celebrated for his blistering 2022/23 season, where he scored 30 goals, Rashford’s form has taken a sharp dive. Last season, he managed just eight goals across all competitions, leaving fans and the club concerned.

United’s willingness to sell Rashford isn’t just about his performance. Off-field distractions have also raised eyebrows. Rashford was fined in January after a night out in Belfast just days before missing training due to illness. He’s also faced internal disciplinary actions in the past, leading to questions about his focus and commitment.

To make matters more complicated, Rashford’s hefty £325,000-a-week wages have made finding potential buyers a challenge.

While clubs like Paris Saint-Germain and teams in Saudi Arabia are rumored to be interested, a deal is far from certain.

A complicated situation for Marcus Rashford and United

Rashford’s struggles have put new United manager Ruben Amorim in a tough spot. With a deal that keeps Rashford at the club until 2028, Amorim must find a way to reignite the player’s form. Rashford has scored three times under the new manager this season, but he’s yet to start in recent high-profile matches.

Selling Rashford could provide financial relief to the club, which has been tightening its budget since INEOS’ arrival.

However, letting go of an academy graduate and one of their best-paid players isn’t an easy decision. United’s hierarchy is also mindful of the negative effects a high-profile departure could have on the squad.

For now, Rashford’s future hangs in the balance. While his form shows signs of recovery, his performance over the next few months could determine whether he stays or goes.

Both Rashford and United have plenty to prove as they navigate a complicated relationship.
