Marcus Rashford’s future at Manchester United is uncertain, with reports suggesting he could be leaving Old Trafford soon.
The English forward has struggled this season, mirroring the team’s overall performance as they hover in the lower half of the Premier League table. Despite a hard-fought victory in their recent Europa League match against Viktoria Plzen, United’s overall form has been disappointing, reflected in their league standing.
As Manchester United prepares for their upcoming Premier League clash with Manchester City, speculation surrounding Rashford’s departure grows, especially with the January transfer window approaching. There are reports that the club may look to sell him, with Rashford potentially being one of the major exits.
Football pundit Danny Murphy spoke on talkSPORT, suggesting that a club like Arsenal could be a better fit for Rashford. He argued that the team’s dominance in games would likely improve Rashford’s output. He said, “Playing in a team that’s so settled and so confident and competent, there is a case that his end product would get much better, because Arsenal are really dominant in games. There would be some people who would take Rashford over [Gabriel] Martinelli.”
Murphy continued, “The ability he’s got and physical attributes he has, he’s capable of more. But he’s been at a club where the managers and managerial team has not been stable, the team’s not been great.”
According to a report in the Daily Mail, Manchester United is under pressure to sell players to comply with the Profit and Sustainability Rules. They are reportedly open to offers for Rashford, who has yet to regain the form he showed two years ago.
Despite having a contract at Old Trafford until 2028, his recent performances have been underwhelming. Barcelona, one of the top La Liga clubs, could be a leading contender to sign the 27-year-old next year.
