Marcus Rashford’s United exit: Fabrizio Romano’s latest update

2

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford’s future remains unclear with less than a month left in the transfer window. The Englishman spent last season on loan at Barcelona and was expected to continue his stay at Camp Nou next season as well.

However, the Catalans opted against triggering the purchase option and moved for Anthony Gordon to strengthen their attack. That decision has put Rashford’s future up in the air, especially since he is tied with the Red Devils until 2028.

The 28 year old last played for the English giants in December 2024, before he was shipped off on loan to Aston Villa in January. United have since strengthened their attack by signing Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, and remain keen to offload Rashford.

The Red Devils are working to upgrade the squad this summer, and the Englishman’s possible sale could help their cause. However, offloading the player has proven to be a difficult ask.

Rashford’s fall at United

Rashford was once considered an indispensable part of United’s starting XI. A product of the club’s fabled academy, the Englishman exploded onto the scene under former manager Louis van Gaal and was tipped to become an Old Trafford legend.

However, Rashford’s career took a complicated turn after a public fallout with former head coach Ruben Amorim, which resulted in his temporary departure from the club. Now surplus to requirements at the Theatre of Dreams, the former academy graduate’s possible exit could be registered as pure profit in the books.

That would be a significant boost towards complying with Financial Fair Play regulations. There has been interest in the player from the Middle East, while Fenerbahce have also been mentioned as a suitor.

However, an exit is yet to materialise, and acclaimed journalist Fabrizio Romano has now provided an update on the matter.

Rashford likely to stay at United

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano pointed out that it is increasingly likely that Rashford will stay at Old Trafford beyond the summer. He said: “Day by day, the feeling internally at Manchester United is that Marcus Rashford has increasing chances of staying at the club.”

“The expectation now is that, unless something crazy happens in the transfer market, Rashford could really stay at United and compete for a place. There are currently no concrete moves for his exit.”

Rashford has registered 138 goals in 426 games for United in his career, winning the FA Cup, the EFL Cup and the Europa League.

Final Thoughts

United are in the market for a new left-forward, but are yet to sign a candidate for the job. Should Rashford end up staying at Old Trafford, he could prove a handy option for Michael Carrick, especially with a congested fixture list ahead next season.
