Rúben Amorim’s decision to leave Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho out of Manchester United’s squad for last Sunday’s derby has sparked rumors about Rashford’s future at the club.
Even without the duo, United pulled off a dramatic 2-1 win over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. Josko Gvardiol put City ahead with a first-half header, but Bruno Fernandes equalized with an 88th-minute penalty.
Just two minutes later, Amad Diallo sealed the win, expertly rounding Éderson to score. Rashford’s omission from the squad for this match has only fueled growing speculation about his future at United.
TEAMtalk reported last Sunday that Manchester United have made the decision to sell Marcus Rashford in the January transfer window. The report mentions that Paris Saint-Germainare interested in the England international, and with United now open to selling, other clubs could also enter the race for his signature.
In the meantime,Chris Wheeler of the Daily Mail indicates that Manchester United might be open to offers ofaround £40 million for the forward.
