Revealed: Man Utd OPEN to shock Marcus Rashford sale in January to give Ruben Amorim major transfer market boost

According to Florian Plettenbergof Sky Germany, the Red Devils are weighing the possibility of selling their once-beloved academy graduate as early as January. If they fail to offload the forward in the next window, United will look to get Rashford's reported £375,000 per week salary off their books in the summer window. This decision aims to provide newly appointed manager Ruben Amorim with extra funds to reshape the squad while complying with current Financial Fair Play rules.

Rashford, who signed a lucrative new five-year contract in the summer of 2023, has struggled to replicate his past form. The 27-year-old's performance declined drastically last season as he managed to score just eight goals in all competitions. The current campaign began with high hopes for a resurgence, but they soon faded away and he has netted just four times in 15 appearances so far in 2024-25.

Rashford found himself benched during back-to-back Premier League defeats to Arsenal and Nottingham Forest. However, when he was brought on with half an hour still to play in both matches, the forward failed to capitalise on the opportunity and remained an anonymous figure on the pitch as the Red Devils dropped more valuable points.

Reports suggest that Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) may be interested in acquiring the forward but no concrete development has taken place so far. Time is running out for Rashford to reestablish himself as a cornerstone of United’s attack. The immediate future is critical and he must aim to prove his worth in Thursday’s Europa League clash against Viktoria Plzen. Additionally, the highly anticipated derby against Manchester City at the Etihad on Sunday provides an opportunity for Rashford to make a decisive impact. Strong performances in these matches could reignite faith in his abilities and potentially alter his uncertain trajectory.
