Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has reportedly rejected multiple lucrative offers from the Saudi Pro League.
United have put Rashford up for sale, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS keen on making tough decisions that will ultimately benefit the club in the long term.
At the moment, Rashford doesn’t appear to be in Ruben Amorim’s plans and so, an exit is firmly on the cards.
United are in urgent need of funds to support their squad rebuild, with significant player sales necessary before they can initiate a spending spree. As a homegrown talent, Rashford’s sale would be recorded as “pure profit” in the club’s accounts, adding to its attractiveness.
Last month, Rashford granted an interview to Henry Winter, admitting that he is prepared to leave United in search of a fresh adventure.
He has since been linked to a number of transfer destinations including Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, Galatasaray, Atletico Madrid and even the Saudi Pro League.
Now, Samuel Luckhurst of Manchester Evening News reveals that Saudi Pro League outfits have presented offers to the player but he has turned them all down.
According to Luckhurst, “Marcus Rashford has rejected three offers from Saudi Pro League clubs worth up to £35million a year amid uncertainty over his Manchester United future.”
“Rashford has also ruled out a move to any teams in Turkey as he wants to prioritise a career-driven move ahead of the 2026 World Cup in 18 months’ time.”
“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.”
Luckhurst adds that United are willing to let Rashford leave on loan under the right conditions. The Red Devils would demand a loan fee and require that a majority of his hefty £325,000-a-week wages be covered.
If Rashford departs this month, United will dip into the market for a replacement.
