Marcus Rashford, the 27-year-old forward for Manchester United, is reportedly facing a potential exit in January.
Despite a new long-term contract signed in 2023, Rashford’s recent form has been underwhelming.
He has only scored 4 goals in 15 Premier League appearances this season. As a result, multiple Saudi Pro League clubs, including Al Ittihad, are showing interest in the forward.
Saudi Clubs Could Offer Rashford an Escape Route
Rashford has struggled to match the form that made him one of the Premier League’s top players during the 2022/23 season.
His decline in form has significantly reduced his value to around £40 million.
Despite being reluctant to leave his boyhood club, Rashford could still make the move to the Saudi Pro League, where clubs are well-equipped to cover his substantial wages.
United’s Financial Strategy and Potential Squad Changes
Rashford’s departure could be a boost to United’s finances, providing funds for potential new signings in January.
Manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly targeting a left-back, central midfielder, and possibly a striker, depending on player departures.
With Christian Eriksen, Antony, and Casemiro also linked with exits, the club may look to strengthen their squad to maintain competitiveness.
