THE BIGGER PICTURE
The England international fell down the pecking order at United following his fallout with Ruben Amorim and spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, scoring twice and assisting three times in ten Premier League appearances. Rashford is one of five players deemed available for transfer as the Red Devils aim to reduce their wage bill. Still under contract until 2028 on £300,000 per week, he remains a high-cost asset with limited takers.

WHAT NEXT FOR RASHFORD?
Juventus must now assess whether they can fund a deal that meets Rashford’s wage demands, with a loan-plus-buy option. Barcelona could still step in, but time is running out to structure an acceptable package. With United open to offers, the next few weeks may determine whether Rashford revives his career in Serie A, La Liga, or beyond.
