Manchester United are considering selling one of their star players, despite his recent remarkable performances.
Manchester United shakes up the football world with an unexpected decision. The hasty departure of sporting director Dan Ashworth, after just five months at Old Traffordpaved the way for important changes. Among them, the potential sale of Marcus Rashford. An announcement that surprises, given its recent remarkable performances.
Performances in contrast to the club’s intentions
At 27, Marcus Rashford remains one of the iconic faces of Manchester United. However, the English striker was relegated to the bench during the matches against Arsenal (0-2) and Nottingham Forest (2-3). This sidelining seems to reflect a different vision on the part of the new coach, Rúben Amorim.
Economic motivations in the background
Under contract until June 2028, Marcus Rashford is estimated at 60 million euros. However, it is his annual salary, around 18 million euros, which seems to weigh heavily in the balance. By reducing its wage bill, Manchester United could have greater flexibility to attract new talent in the next transfer window.
Rashford on the market this winter?
Sky Sport Germany reports that Manchester United is ready to listen to offers from the winter transfer window, even if a summer sale remains favored. This posture indicates a clear desire to maximize economic and sporting opportunities in the short term.
A strategic decision for the future of Manchester United
While the Reds Devils are going through a period of transition, the possible sale of Rashford is part of a renewal strategy. With Ruben Amorim at the helm, the club is looking to redefine its priorities and build a team capable of returning to the European summits.
Manchester United appear ready to reinvent themselves, even if it means turning the page on a player as iconic as Marcus Rashford. This decision, although surprising, could well reshape the future of the club in the seasons to come.
