Arriving at Manchester United at 8 years old, Marcus Rashford should leave at the end of the season. For supporters of Olympique de Marseille, Marseille leaders must take a position on the issue.
This is the big information revealed this Tuesday, December 10, 2024. The lifelong romance between Manchester United and Marcus Rashford could end at the end of the season. With the Red Devils since 2005, the British striker would have made the decision to discover new horizons once the current year is over – or even as early as January. A state of affairs which will logically push the largest teams in Europe to take a position on its file. Long targeted by Paris Saint-Germain, Marcus Rashford is not only wanted in the Parisian capital. In Ligue 1, supporters of Olympique de Marseille go so far as to ask Marseille leaders to do what is necessary to recruit him. Is there some truth behind the humor?
Marcus Rashford against Elye Wahi, the dream of Marseillais
Under contract until June 2028 with Manchester United, Marcus Rashford has an estimated market value of 60 million euros, according to the specialist site Transfermarkt. Conditions which lead us to believe that the club which manages to recover it will have to put its hand in its pocket. A situation which goes, in theory, well beyond the financial capacities of Olympique de Marseille. However, some supporters do not hesitate to say that it is at OM that Marcus Rashford should continue his career. All with a touch of irony. “ For pity’s sake, I’m on my knees #MercatOM», Comments a first Olympian supporter on an X post announcing the information on the departure of Marcus Rashford.
But that's not all. “ Mehdi Benatia : ‘allô Marcus ? Do you know Calanques of Sormiou’ », quips another supporter, still on X, before a third goes so far as to ask for an exchange with Elye Wahi. It must be said that the current number 9 of OM is far from bringing satisfaction. Enough to make Marseille supporters want to see a world star take his place. The attempt to launch the corresponding hashtag is there, but it will be almost mission impossible.
