The performance of England international Marcus Rashford this season has not been up to his usual standards, as evidenced by his tally of just eight goals in 40 appearances across all competitions for Manchester United. This figure represents a noticeable decline compared to his impressive record of 30 goals in 56 games last season.
In fairness to Rashford, he is not the only player at Old Trafford who has struggled to perform at their best this season. The overall atmosphere at the club seems less than ideal currently, with doubts looming over the future of manager Erik ten Hag as the summer approaches.
Speculation has arisen regarding the possibility of Manchester United considering Rashford’s departure, prompting renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano to shed light on the situation in his latest Daily Briefing column for CaughtOffside.
Romano emphasized that while Rashford may no longer be considered untouchable at Manchester United, the club would require a significant transfer fee to even entertain the idea of letting him go. However, as of now, there are no updates on potential suitors interested in acquiring the 26-year-old forward.
“Manchester United have not communicated any decisions to Rashford yet, despite certain reports suggesting that he could be made available for transfer if a substantial offer arrives this summer,” Romano clarified.
This statement underscores the uncertainty surrounding Rashford’s future at Manchester United and highlights the financial considerations that would need to be met for any potential transfer to take place. It also reflects the intricate nature of transfer negotiations and the deliberations involved in assessing the value of key players within a club’s squad.
