Manchester United fans are awaiting transfer news surrounding Marcus Rashford’s potential exit from the club during the January window, and manager Ruben Amorim has addressed his future.
Marcus Rashford Transfer News: Ruben Amorim ‘Unsure’ If Forward Will Leave This Month
Manchester United fans are awaiting updates over whether Marcus Rashford will leave the club by the end of the January transfer window.
It comes after the England international said he is ‘ready for a new challenge and the next steps’ in his career.
However, time is ticking down towards transfer deadline day on February 3.
United boss Ruben Amorim was asked about Rashford’s future in his pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday’s trip to Fulham.
‘I don’t know, I really don’t know,’ he responded when asked if Rashford could get a transfer away from the club during the January window.
“Guys, it’s 10 days. We will see in the end of the window what happened. And then we will talk about that in the moment.”
The 27-year-old has not played since United’s 2-1 victory over Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League on December 12. He missed the Manchester derby on December 15 and two days later his desire to leave the club was made public in an interview with journalist Henry Winter.
Rashford’s options to leave by the end of the January window are limiting as the February 3 deadline draws closer.
Clubs Who Have Been Linked With Rashford Move
Several top European sides have been linked with Marcus Rashford over a potential transfer during the January window.
AC Milan had emerged as a serious contender for Rashford over a potential loan move. However, AC Milan also wanted to sign Kyle Walker who requested a transfer away from Manchester City.
Serie A rules meant that AC Milan could only go for one of the two players. They decided to pursue a move for Walker over Rashford.
There was also news that both Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona viewed Rashford as a potential transfer target.
The Bundesliga side, as per the Daily Mail, were priced out by Rashford’s £350,000-a-week wages even on a short-term deal.
Barcelona have struggled with financial issues in recent years and there is uncertainty over whether they would make a move.
A host of other clubs have been linked over a January transfer for Rashford including Tottenham, Napoli and Monaco.
