Manchester United made a decision. Will drop transfer fee for sale of Marcus Rashford.

British media Daily Mail reported on the 4th (Korea time) 'Manchester United is ready to cut a transfer fee of £80 million to sell Rashford. We will be happy to hear suggestions for Rashford this summer,' it reported.

Rashford is a former Manchester United youth and has played a key role in the team. In particular, he scored 17 goals in 35 games in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2022-2023 season. He also wrote a career high. However, in the 2023-2024 season, he scored only seven goals in 33 league games. In particular, in January, the English Football Association (FA) Cup was ahead, causing a "night controversy". Coach Ten Hach shouted 'Rashford injury', but in fact Rashford was at the night club.

United were reeling from the ace's slump. In the 2023-2024 season, he ranked 8th with 18 wins, 6 draws and 14 losses (60 points) in the league. He was eliminated early in the Carabao Cup and the European Champions League (UCL). It was comforting to win the FA Cup after defeating Manchester City 'regional rival'. There was once a rumor that Erik ten Hag would be replaced, but he decided to stay. Rashford was also expected to pull himself together and prepare for the season.

Things have changed drastically. The Daily Mail said `Manchester United are willing to accept Rashford's offer this summer.' The media quoted another media outlet, The Sun, saying, "'The club decided to put Ten Hag in charge after reviewing the performance. This affected the situation in Rashford. Rashford's contract with Manchester United expires in 2028. Manchester United can keep cash by selling Rashford. Rashford's transfer fee was £80m. But after his skills fell last season, he accepted that he might have to lower the price.

The media reported 'Rashford's actions off the field, as well as on the field, damaged the team's reputation. Ten Hag's relationship with Rashford is irreversible. Rashford admitted after the season that his performance wasn't consistent'
