Manchester United are planning to offload several unwanted players at the end of this season and one of the names on the list might be that of Marcus Rashford.
Marcus Rashford has endured a really frustrating season with Man United scoring just seven goals in 31 Premier League appearances and to make matters worse, his off-field disciplinary issues have also been a headache for Erik ten Hag.
Manchester United are expected to get rid of players like Wan-Bissaka, McTominay, Luke Shaw, Anthony Martial and Antony but everyone was certain that Rashford was going nowhere. Earlier this month, PSG had been linked with the England international but the experts claimed that United are not planning to sell Marcus Rashford.
However, the scenario seems to have changed because the new INEOS owners feel that the 26-year-old has nothing more to offer to the club so it’s probably best to cash in on him.
Should Manchester United get rid of Marcus Rashford?
Rashford has been a first-team player since the 2015/16 season and to date, he’s only had three good campaigns. He scored 22 and 21 goals respectively during the 19/20 and 20/21 seasons and then last year, he netted 30 goals across all competitions.
Everyone was hoping he is going to maintain the same form and rhythm but instead of levelling up, Rashford has fallen flat on his face.
He’s looked out of ideas in most matches while Garnacho who is also a right-winger has done everything right whenever the manager has relied on him.
Garnacho has shone on the right and also on the left and if Man United are viewing the Argentine in their long-term plans then they can very well afford to lose Marcus Rashford in the summer.
He’s well past his prime at 26 and after one or maybe two seasons, he is going to enter the final leg of his professional career so it makes no sense to hold onto him and wish that he will come good one day. PSG are already interested in him and if word gets around that Man United wish to sell him then we are sure that several other big clubs will want to sign him as well.
Last summer, he signed a new contract until 2028 and his current market value is €60 million which means if United push hard enough, they will be able to bring in around €80-85 million for the England international which they can then use to solve their other problematic areas.
It is definitely a hard pill to swallow but the once adventurous academy graduate is now a failed project so it’s best to cut losses rather than keep paying him ÂŁ350,000 per week for the next four years.
