At 27, Marcus Rashford has not completely confirmed the hopes placed in him. Considered a future great for Manchester United, the Englishman has disappointed a lot in recent years. Despite rumors of departure, the striker always remained with the residents of Old Trafford. This season, he participated in 23 matches in all competitions. Time to score 7 goals and deliver 3 assists. But Rashford is still the subject of strong criticism. Yesterday, Sky Germany even revealed that the Red Devils want to part with it.

The idea would be to sell him in order to reduce the payroll, while the player receives an annual salary of €18.25 million. And for Ineos and Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who want to make savings here and there, getting rid of this big salary would be a good thing. Especially since they would like to strengthen themselves, they who do not have a large transfer window budget. This Wednesday, the Rashford soap opera continues to make headlines on the other side of the Channel. THE Telegraph first reveals the other reasons which push the Mancunian leaders to want to sell him.

Rashford is for sale

In addition to the economic aspect, they no longer support the behavior of the footballer under contract until 2028. In fact, the British publication explains that his lifestyle and his activities off the field do not please MU. Indeed, his numerous nighttime outings are the talk of the town. Last year, he caused controversy after a trip to Belfast where he was photographed drinking during a drunken evening, even though he had declared to the club that he was ill a few days before.

The Mancunians, who had imposed a fine on him (two weeks’ salary withheld, editor’s note) believe that his numerous distractions off the field are detrimental to his performances. And if the striker still has a chance to save his skin, if he manages to convince the new coach Ruben Amorim (he scored 3 goals in 5 matches under his orders, editor’s note); Mass seems already said in the upper echelons of the club. Already last summer, management had surveyed the market, without necessarily finding a base. This season they do not rule out selling it this winter. But they rather expect a departure during the summer.

Two paths are already emerging

And the Telegraph adds that two options are already emerging regarding its future. Indeed, the English publication indicates that Saudi Arabia, which is fond of Premier League players, is an option. The second leads to PSG. A club often linked to Rashford in the past. Moreover, the Manchester Evening News adds that Paris would be the best destination for the England international with 60 caps and 17 goals with the Three Lions. Regarding its price, no amount has been filtered. But the Telegraph estimates that it will be for an amount cheaper than expected. According to the specialized site Transfermarktits market value is still estimated at €60 million.

It remains to be seen whether any club will be willing to put that much money on him. In the meantime, Marcus Rashford continues to play at Manchester United. There, Ruben Amorim wants to do everything to finally get the best out of it, as he explained recently. “We will try to find the right solution for him, but he has to be the real Marcus, first and foremost, to try to get back to that moment. Then he will have all the help from the staff, the club and the fans because he is a Manchester United boy. But he must be the first to want it.” The 27-year-old knows what to do!
