Man United willing to sell Marcus Rashford in January to raise transfer funds

Man United are ready to sell the forward, according to reports.

Manchester United are open to selling Marcus Rashford in the summer, according to reports.

The 27-year-old has been at the club since he was a child, progressing through the academy ranks before breaking into the senior team at the start of 2016.

Though he has struggled to find his form this season and last, he has so far improved under Ruben Amorim’s guidance, netting three times since the Portuguese manager arrived.

However, according to Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg United are open to selling the striker in the summer and may even consider offers in the winter transfer window.

The departure would hand Amorim’s rebuild budget a huge boost.

Plettenberg said: “Manchester United would sell Marcus #Rashford at the latest by the summer and would already be open to top offers in the winter.

“The club acknowledge his development under Ruben #Amorim but consider him definitely not unsellable.

“One reason why a sale is being discussed: if he were to leave the club due to his very high salary, it would free up critical points in the complicated Financial Fair Play system, which, in turn, would give the Red Devils more room to manoeuvre in the transfer market.

“27 y/o with a contract until 2028.”
