English striker Marcus Rashford has made up his mind. Although Manchester United’s plan is to find him a new club and generate a significant fee from his sale, the forward is holding onto his contract and does not want to leave Old Trafford.
The 2024-2025 version of Manchester United will look nothing like the current one. Having had a season to forget, the Old Trafford squad has disappointed both fans and critics alike due to its poor play and dismal results.
Movements at Manchester United
Eliminated early in the Champions League, the Manchester team is currently sixth in the Premier League standings and even risks missing out on European competition.
In this situation, the club’s top brass are working on bringing in a new high-level coach who can get the team functioning, something that Ten Hag has failed to achieve.
He has been unable to bring out the best in some players, such as Jadon Sancho, who now shines in Dortmund.
Marcus Rashford doesn’t want to move
The club will also look to offload several players who have not met expectations. One of the most significant cases is that of Marcus Rashford, once untouchable but who has taken a significant step back (40 matches with 8 goals and 5 assists).
In this context, Manchester United’s plan is to find him a new club and for the English international to leave a significant amount of money on the table.
However, this does not seem easy. According to the tabloid The Sun, Marcus Rashford will resist all attempts by the English team to sell him this summer and will cling to his contract to continue wearing the jersey next season.
Therefore, it can be a very difficult situation for Manchester United that will have to make do without the money from the sale of Rashford.
