Manchester United are reportedly mulling over parting ways with 27-year-old academy graduate Marcus Rashford amid concerns about his form.
According to a report by Football Insider, Marcus Rashford faces an uncertain future at Manchester United, with the Premier League heavyweights concerned about his form and recent performances. While Ruben Amorim will assess the English attacker’s “level” before taking a call on his future, the Red Devils are pondering over parting ways with him next year.
Marcus Rashford and his rollercoaster career
Marcus Rashford has blown hot and cold since breaking into the first-team squad at Manchester United midway through the 2015/16 season. The Englishman got an opportunity out of nowhere amid an injury crisis at Old Trafford. He hit the ground running at Manchester United and was one of the best players in the second half of the 2015/16 campaign.
However, the 27-year-old has been inconsistent throughout his spell with the Manchester United first team, going through phases when he has been among the best players in the world while also enduring periods when he cannot buy a goal. Rashford has improved this term but does not have an impressive tally to back it up.
The 60-cap English international has managed only four goals and three assists in 16 outings in all competitions thus far this term. While Rashford’s numbers have improved, he has yet to show that he can rediscover his form from the 2022/23 season. The latest report has suggested that the academy graduate faces an uncertain future at Manchester United.
What next?
Pete O’Rourke has claimed that Manchester United are mulling over cashing in on Marcus Rashford next year amid concerns about his form and performances. However, incoming manager Ruben Amorim will assess the Englishman’s “level” before taking a call on his future.
The Portuguese tactician wants to show a significant improvement in performance levels before giving the green light for Rashford to remain at Manchester United. Amorim will hope the 27-year-old can rediscover his best touch, considering his game-changing ability.
However, it will not be surprising to see Rashford approaching the end of his unfulfilling spell with Manchester United. Meanwhile, the 60-cap English international will not have a shortage of suitors pursuing his signature, with recent reports linking him with Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain.
