Manchester City are considering a shock move for Marcus Rashford in the near future, which could shake up the club’s foundations.
Fichajes are reporting that Manchester City could consider a sensational move for Marcus Rashford in the near future. The 26-year-old mainstay at Manchester United is not content with life and plenty of speculation during the summer, as Pep Guardiola remains an admirer of the forward.
Manchester City keen on Marcus Rashford
Marcus Rahford continues to divide opinion among Manchester United fans due to his sudden drop in form over the last 18 months. Before that, the 26-year-old probably had the best season of his life, hitting 30 goals across all competitions, helping the Red Devils finish third in the Premier League and return to the Champions League.
The forward lost his rhythm over the course of last season and continues to struggle for relevance in Erik ten Hag’s side. Should he continue on this dreadful run, he would probably lose his place in the starting lineup, with Alejandro Garnacho breathing down his neck.
However, the news report states that Manchester City are keen on signing Rashford in the near future. Should such a transfer materialise, it would shake the foundations of the city of Manchester, as the 26-year-old could become a divisive figure among both sets of fanbases.
Pep Guardiola reportedly likes Rashford for his qualities and what he brings to the team. However, they already have a packed left wing with Jeremy Doku and Jack Grealish, with the dupo certainly better on current form, at least over the past 12 to 18 months. Thus, a move might not be something Manchester City is thinking of seriously, as the report makes out.
Will Manchester United sell Rashford?
Earlier in the summer, there were reports that Manchester United were open to a big offer for Rashford if they arrived. PSG held an interest but never came through with a concrete offer, while Barcelona also have an interest, as per the latest stories.
However, Manchester United will only sell him if a considerable offer arrives in the near future. Will that be their stance if Manchester City comes calling remains the question, as their first reaction would be not to sell, although if they do decide to accept the idea, it would be for a far more considerable sum than the winger’s valuation.
