Manchester United have stated they will only consider offers of £70 million or more for Marcus Rashford during the summer transfer window, according to a recent report.
Rashford, who scored 30 goals in all competitions last season, has been criticized for his decline in form during the 2023/24 season, and off-field issues have also caused concern within the club.
The upcoming summer is expected to be difficult for Manchester United. With Ineos and Sir Jim Ratcliffe involved, the club is open to reasonable offers for nearly all squad members, including Rashford.
Although Rashford is not considered untouchable, ESPN reports that United would need a bid over £70 million to consider selling him.
However, the club does not expect to receive such an offer and is not actively looking to sell the England international.
This season, Rashford has scored eight goals in all competitions and was previously linked with Paris Saint-Germain.
The Ligue 1 champions had once viewed Rashford as a potential replacement for Kylian Mbappe, who is expected to join Real Madrid when his contract at Parc des Princes expires. Nonetheless, Rashford is not a primary target for PSG this summer.
Reports indicate that Manchester United would only consider selling the 26-year-old Rashford if he seeks a new challenge and if a significant bid is made.
Club captain Bruno Fernandes addressed speculation about a potential large-scale sell-off, acknowledging he would consider his future over the summer but also stating a mutual agreement with the club to continue their partnership.
Fernandes recently received support from former teammate Juan Mata, who stressed the importance of Manchester United backing Fernandes and building their team culture around him. Mata believes Fernandes is crucial to the club’s future and should be central to their plans.
As Manchester United navigate the upcoming summer transfer window, the potential sale of Rashford will depend on various factors, including his own wishes and the size of the offers received.
The club’s strategy and decisions in the transfer market will significantly shape their squad for the coming seasons, making this a crucial period for the Red Devils.
While Manchester United prepare for potential changes this summer, Rashford’s fate remains uncertain, depending on whether he seeks a new challenge and if the right offer comes in.
The club’s willingness to consider substantial bids reflects their broader strategy to reshape the squad under the new ownership structure, aiming to balance ambition with pragmatism in the transfer market.
