Manchester United say they can no longer watch Marcus Rashford's slump.
Reporter Florian Flettenberg, who works for Sky Sports in Germany and is known as a transfer market expert, said on his personal SNS on the 10th (Korea time), "Manchester United will sell Rashford by summer at the latest. I'm open to good offers from the winter transfer market. Manchester United acknowledge the development of a player under the leadership of Hoobeng Amorim, but they no longer consider him to be a player they can no longer sell."
The British Telegraph also added: "Rashford is fighting to save his career at Manchester United after learning that they are ready to sell him since last summer and continue to accept offers"The player is facing a crisis," he said.
Rashford has had so many ups and downs every season. It grew well until the 2019-2020 season, but was extremely sluggish for the second consecutive season. He showed top ability again by achieving a career high in the 2022-2023 season, but he is suffering from an indispensable slump. The same is true this season.
The ups and downs are the reason, but another reason Manchester United wanted to sell Rashford was the player's attitude. The Telegraph reports "Manchester United are concerned about Rashford's off-field lifestyle. There are concerns that he will no longer focus on football. Rashford is said to have a number of distractions that affect his performance."
It can be said that Rashford has built his own karma. Rashford has created several controversial events in recent seasons. In January, he was suspended for two weeks a week for being caught drinking too much ahead of the game. There was a controversy just before the game when he reported to the coach that it was difficult to play, saying he was suddenly sick, and in 2022, he was internally disciplined and excluded from the starting list. Manchester United decided to release a player who couldn't get out of the slump and ups and downs when he couldn't concentrate on soccer.
The question is what to do with the release. Rashford's weekly salary is a whopping 325,000 pounds (about 600 million won). There are only a few teams in the world that can afford Rashford's weekly pay. If Rashford is doing well, other big clubs will actively try to recruit him, but there will be no big club that wants Rashford now.
The Telegraph also has a slim chance of finding a buyer in the January transfer window as Rashford has not been consistent for months with £325,000 a week. Few clubs have the resources to meet Rashford's salary after analyzing that they are more likely to be released in the summer. A transfer to Saudi Arabia is an option, and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is being discussed.
Manchester United are expected to plan to buy another striker with the money as they sell Rashford. Currently, Manchester United is strongly connected to Victor Jockeres, coach Amorim's student in Sporting Lisbon. If Rashford can be sold, it will be much easier to recruit Jockeres.
