Marcus Rashford rejects three transfer offers as star future takes new twist

Manchester United winger Marcus Rashford is expected to leave Old Trafford anytime soon following his rumoured fallout with manager Ruben Amorim.

United are prepared to sell Rashford in the winter transfer window after he outlined his desire for a “new challenge” in an interview conducted two weeks ago.

However, the England international has rejected three offers from Saudi Pro League clubs worth up to £35million a year. Reports claimed Rashford has also ruled out a move to any teams in Turkey.

According to reports, Rashford wants to prioritise a career-driven move ahead of the 2026 World Cup in 18 months’ time and believes a move to this league will hinder his progress.

Rashford is determined to earn a recall to the England squad under new coach Thomas Tuchel, having last played for the national side in a friendly against Brazil in March last year.

Rashford, 27, earns £325,000-a-week at United and his salary could prove a stumbling block to interested teams.

Meanwhile, United are prepared to let Rashford leave on loan if they receive an acceptable offer from an interested club. The Red Devils would require a loan fee and for the majority of Rashford’s wages to be covered.

Rashford is United’s joint-second top scorer this season but was omitted from four consecutive matchday squads.

He was recalled to the squad for the 2-0 home defeat to Newcastle on Monday night. However, Rashford was only an unused substitute.
