Marcus Rashford is reportedly in the sights of La Liga giants Atletico Madrid, with the English attacker’s Manchester United future still uncertain.
According to Fichajes, La Liga giants Atletico Madrid have set their sights on Marcus Rashford over a possible economical move in 2023, with the English attacker’s future uncertain at Manchester United. Los Rojiblancos are in the market for bargain signings and may ponder bringing the England international to Madrid.
Marcus Rashford is showing signs of recovering from niggling injuries. The 24-year-old is seemingly figuring out his role in Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United. There have been many ups and downs, alongside managerial changes, which may have impacted his performances.
But Rashford already has three goals in six Premier League games this season and may look to cement a permanent place in ten Hag’s lineup. The Manchester United manager values his quality and has shown faith in his abilities since the campaign began.
Before that, a turbulent summer saw PSG make a big money offer, but Manchester United rejected any approaches. For now, there could be a case of Rashford staying put at Manchester United. If he does become available, Rashford will have plenty of suitors from the Premier League and abroad.
PSG may come back with another offer, but they may face competition from La Liga giants Atletico Madrid. The Colchoneros are in the market for valuable additions and may consider Rashford as a potential signing if he is available for a reasonable price.
There are links with Roberto Firmino, as the Brazilian forward’s future looks to be in some doubt. Firmino has entered his final year and could be available for a free next summer. Rashford will have a year left on his Manchester United contract, which would be the club’s option to extend.
Atletico may thus look into approaching the England international. Diego Simeone is looking to change the dynamics of his attack, and Rashford would give it a new dimension. However, much will depend on the player’s idea over his future, which may include remaining in England.
Rashford was plagued by niggling injuries that may have affected his form. But as things stand, Manchester United are a team on the rise, and Rashford may want to play a part for them for a long time. Either way, irrespective of a year left on his deal, the club will demand a very high price if things push comes to shove.
