Manchester United are willing to listen to offers for Marcus Rashford
Manchester United are willing to listen to offers for Marcus Rashford and would be open to selling the forward in January.
The 27-year-old scored the opening goal of the Ruben Amorim era and scored two more goals in a 4-0 home win against Everton.
Rahsford, however, has been used as a substitute in the subsequent defeats against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest, with Rasmus Hojlund preferred up front.
The England international signed a new long-term deal 18 months ago and is under contract until 2028, but United, according to Sky Germany, no longer consider one of their most high-profile players ‘unsellable’.
Other than his erratic form, United’s stance on Rashford has changed on account of his high salary.
Reports claim he currently earns over £300,000-a-week and getting him off the wage bill would give United more flexibility in the transfer market.
Where his long-term future lies, former United striker Louis Saha insists Rashford must change his attitude if he is to fulfil his potential.
He told Casino Utan Spelpaus: ‘Scoring goals is always a very nice thing for a striker. Rashford knows that he has the quality to score goals and help his team, and when the team is not playing well, you need those players to score.
‘There is no doubt that Marcus has to behave in a certain way because of what you just mentioned. He’s always under scrutiny. He has to understand. He can’t just ask people to shut up.
‘They’re not going to do it. They love his name, they love the affiliation to Manchester United, a club that is followed everywhere in the world.
‘Rashford is an English player in one of the most popular football teams in the world. You have to understand that scrutiny is normal because a superstar.
‘He perhaps thinks that he’s still very young and that he should be protected from all the scrutiny and left to get on with his football.
‘People don’t see it that way because, in some ways, Marcus is at the stage where he’s got the status which demands more than a normal player. This is the problem, and he has to play with this.’
