Marcus Rashford have high chances to leave Man United in the coming winter transfer window. But the English forward has kept a condition. If that clause is not fulfilled before January, that will lead him to search for another club. Rashford is quite down the pecking order and cannot be seen playing regularly.
Marcus Rashford could come closer to quit Man United
Rashford has just turned 29 this weekend. The academy graduate had started a fresh new life at Man United at the starting of the season under current boss Michael Carrick. In 2024, after having a fallout with ex-manager Ruben Amorim, the forward decided to try to play football elsewhere. He managed a loan move to Aston Villa that season. After coming back, he went to Barcelona in 2025-26 campaign but that was also on loan.
The 29-year-old had returned to Carrington after the World Cup. He went through two successive and successful loan spells. But under Carrick, his performances were not up to the mark this season. Recently, he is suffering from a hip injury and is expected to come from the sidelines soon. The United winger had better performances when compared to his fellow teammates. However, a departure in January transfer window is back on the cards.
As reported by Football Insider’s journalist Pete O’Rourke, talks of Rashford’s departure has again come forward. But this time, a condition has been placed. He has decided to leave the Red Devils if he is not getting to play regularly in the upcoming weeks or months.

Man United would allow Rashford to seek a leave
Pete O’Rourke has informed that Rashford’s future depends on what happens in these two months. When he becomes available, he would see whether Carrick trusts him or not. O’Rourke explained, “It’s maybe not worked out so far, but I think in Rashford’s defence he’s been carrying a bit of an injury since the World Cup. Carrick would love to have a fit and firing Marcus Rashford because he would definitely be an improvement for that Manchester United attack.”
He added, “But it’s a difficult one for Rashford because he really had his heart set on that move to Barcelona and for it to fall through was a big blow to him, now he’s come back to United. For Rashford, if he’s not playing regularly and he finds himself sort of on the fringes at Old Trafford, then maybe he might have to seek a move away to another club.”
What could be his next destination?
Premier League club, Everton are most likely to go for Marcus Rashford. They are already short in attack despite having Thierno Barry and Brennan Johnson. The Toffees missed out on Joshua Zirkzee and Folarin Balogun on the final day of summer transfer window.
Rashford could again leave the Theatre of Dreams as he have done this before. O’Rourke said, “It’s something he is prepared to do if he feels he needs a new challenge. If Rashford’s got a part to play and he’s part of the plans at Old Trafford, I think he’s more than happy to stay, but a lot will depend on his role in their starting XI.”
