Eagle-eyed fans are speculating that Marcus Rashford’s time at Manchester United may be drawing to a close. The 27-year-old forward has faced a challenging spell, particularly evident during the recent Europa League match against Viktoria Plzen, where he struggled to make an impact.
Rashford was involved in a controversial moment when he flew into a tackle while already on a yellow card, narrowly avoiding a second booking. He was substituted by manager Ruben Amorim, who reportedly did not acknowledge Rashford as he left the pitch, prompting fans to believe this signifies a potential exit in January.
Comments from fans highlighted the lack of interaction, with one stating, “Looks like Rashford is certainly gonna be sold, Amorim didn’t even shake his hand when he came off.” Others noted the contrast in how Amorim acknowledged other players, further fueling speculation about Rashford’s future.
Reports have emerged suggesting that Manchester United may be willing to sell Rashford for around £40 million, which could enhance the club’s financial position as he is considered an academy profit, counting as 100% profit on any sale. This influx of cash could also provide Amorim with additional funds to strengthen the squad for the latter part of the season.
However, finding a buyer might prove challenging, given Rashford’s considerable wage of up to £325,000 per week and the fact that he signed a contract extending until 2028 just last July. As the situation unfolds, fans and pundits alike will be watching closely to see how it develops.
