Manchester United reportedly hope to repeat the formula that saw Jadon Sancho joining Chelsea in the summer window when they offload Marcus Rashford next month.
According to a report by Football Insider, Marcus Rashford has no future at Manchester United heading into the January transfer window. The 27-year-old under-fire attacker has signalled his intention to embark on a new adventure amid his recent struggles. Meanwhile, the Red Devils hope to repeat the “Jadon Sancho formula” while offloading their academy graduate next month.
Marcus Rashford and his Manchester United woes
Marcus Rashford has reached an unforeseen crossroads in his career in the last ten days. Ruben Amorim dropped a bombshell when he excluded the Englishman from the matchday squad for the Manchester Derby, and the academy graduate has missed the subsequent two matches, not making the group in either game.
The 27-year-old has turned out over 400 times thus far for Manchester United while chipping in with 138 goals and 63 assists. Rashford might have played his final game for his boyhood club, considering Amorim continues to exclude him from matchday squads for every outing.
The English international perhaps exacerbated the situation by insisting in a recent interview that he is ready to embark on a new adventure. Meanwhile, recent reports have claimed that his “lifestyle issues” have prompted Manchester United to offload him next month. Those suggestions seem preposterous, but there have been several unnecessary updates around him in recent weeks.
What next?
While the speculation surrounding Marcus Rashford continues to grow like wildfire, there is no shortage of interest in him. Recent reports have linked the academy graduate with La Liga giants like Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.
In addition, the Englishman is a target for Saudi Pro League clubs. However, Manchester United will aim to repeat the “Jadon Sancho formula” while offloading Rashford in the January transfer window. The Red Devils sanctioned a loan deal for Sancho in the summer transfer window, with the agreement with Chelsea having a conditional purchase obligation clause.
With Rashford, Manchester United will look to raise his market value by loaning him to a club where he can resurrect his fortunes. So, it will be interesting to see where the 27-year-old English international lands amid his faltering fortunes at Manchester United.
