Despite the managerial changes, the scenario remains constant for Marcus Rashford. Despite a successful 2022/23 season, he has struggled in the current Premier League campaign, scoring only four times in twenty matches.
Recent developments unfolded when reports revealed Rashford’s attendance at a Belfast party, leading to his absence from Friday’s training. Consequently, Erik ten Hag excluded him from the squad for Sunday’s FA Cup triumph against Newport County.
This week, the 26-year-old faced negative publicity due to his omission, linked to off-field actions. Manchester United addressed the matter in a late Monday night statement, acknowledging Rashford’s responsibility, treating it as an internal disciplinary matter, now considered resolved. The extent of additional repercussions remains uncertain.
Despite challenges, Rashford continues to attract interest from top European clubs. Last year, Paris Saint-Germain was rumored to pursue the English striker, with Manchester United rejecting a reported £120 million transfer bid.
Rashford ended the previous season impressively, notching 30 goals and 11 assists in 56 appearances. A new five-year contract in the summer, reportedly worth £325,000 per week, solidified his commitment to the club.
If Manchester United considers parting ways, potential suitors may need to surpass the initial £120 million asking price, considering Rashford’s contract extends beyond four years.
Despite a recent market valuation decline to €100 million (£86 million), Rashford’s future is set to dominate headlines, generating speculation and interest throughout the season and into the upcoming summer.
