The sight of Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford failing to make his debut in the Manchester City Derby immediately sent ripples through the fanbase. The Telegraph broke the news that Rashford could be about to say goodbye to Old Trafford, a rumor that has been festering at an alarming rate. When confronted with the interview, Rashford revealed that he was ready to take on a new challenge, which seemed to add credibility to his departure plan.
Manchester United has put a whopping £40 million price tag on Rashford's transfer, and his weekly salary of £325,000 may be the key problem in the deal. It is reported that any transfer involving Rashford must be in line with United's financial planning, a condition that undoubtedly adds countless variables to the transfer process.
The Telegraph further disclosed that if Rashford leaves the team, Spain will be his first choice. However, Real Madrid's forward line is already star-studded, and it is still unknown whether Barcelona's financial strength is enough to support the deal. Paris Saint-Germain, who have been favoring Rashford, are also expected to be the potential new owner of the English shot-stopper.
Despite the fact that the Saudi League has shown great interest in Rashford and even sees him as a heavyweight to bring in, no Premier League clubs have yet to make an offer to Manchester United. Rashford's future at United remains uncertain, and his departure will have a major impact on United's squad and tactical layout.
Facing a crucial point in his career, Rashford needs to make a wise choice in the next few weeks to determine his future path. Meanwhile, Manchester United are in dire need of a clear stance in order to make the best decision in the transfer window.
