Marcus Rashford seems ready to turn the page at Manchester United. Relegated to the bench by Ruben Amorim during the last two matches, the England international recently expressed his desire to take on “a new challenge”. As the January transfer window approaches, there is no shortage of suitors to attract the striker trained with the Red Devils.
Barcelona and Atlético in ambush
According to the Spanish newspaper Marcatwo LaLiga big names, FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid, are very attentive to the situation of the English international. The two clubs have reportedly started discussions to explore the terms of a transfer. The dominant idea would be that of a loan until the end of the season, with an option to buy in the summer.
On the Barça side, a new round of negotiations was initiated with the player’s entourage, showing growing interest in the English striker. Atlético, meanwhile, is also closely monitoring developments, ready to intervene if an opportunity presents itself.
An end to the story for Rashford in Manchester?
The decline of Marcus Rashford in the offensive hierarchy of Manchester United seems to mark an inevitable rupture. His absence during the last two matches, decided by Ruben Amorim, only confirmed doubts about his future at Old Trafford. At 26, the player aspires to a central role in a new project, far from the turbulence that agitates the Red Devils.
The choice of Marcus Rashford for his future destination could be crucial for the rest of his career. With Barcelona and Atlético Madrid in the running, two attractive options are available to him. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United will accept the conditions proposed, in particular a loan with an option to buy, and whether other suitors will join the race by the opening of the transfer window.
PSG explores other options
For a time, Paris SG had shown keen interest in Rashford, but this track now seems to have cooled. The French capital club are now focusing on other targets to strengthen their attack in January, notably Victor Osimhen, currently in great form with Galatasaray. The Nigerian striker appears to be a priority for PSG, which is exploring all avenues to relaunch in Ligue 1 and the Champions League.
