Rúben Amorim’s decision to omit Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United’s squad for last Sunday’s derby has ignited rumors about Rashford’s future at the club.
Despite their absence, United pulled off a dramatic 2-1 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. Josko Gvardiol gave City the lead with a first-half header, but Bruno Fernandes leveled the score with an 88th-minute penalty.
Just two minutes later, Amad Diallo netted the winner, skillfully rounding Éderson to secure the win. The decision to leave Rashford out of the squad for this past weekend’s match has only intensified speculation about where the forward might play next if his time at United is nearing its end.
Is Marcus Rashford on the way out of Manchester United?
TEAMtalk reported on Monday that Manchester United are aiming to generate funds through player sales in January and would consider a suitable offer for Rashford, though any bids are more likely to arrive next summer.
Moreover, the report reveals that the Red Devils are focused on lowering the squad’s average age by bringing in promising players like Diego Leon while offloading those not seen as part of the club’s long-term vision.
It’s widely accepted that selling players will be necessary for United to compete for Champions League qualification and, ultimately, challenge for major titles again.
As for the price tag, TEAMtalk ended its reporting, revealing that the fee will depend on several factors. Nonetheless, United will demand a minimum of £40 million to £45 million even to consider his sale.
