A deal for Marcus Rashford to leave Man United this month “looking increasingly difficult” | OneFootball

Marcus Rashford leaving Manchester United during the ongoing winter transfer window is looking increasingly unlikely, reports Sky Sports.

Rashford has not featured in United’s last nine games across all competitions, having publicly stated that he is “ready for a new challenge” away from Old Trafford.

He was once again left out of the squad on Sunday as United suffered a 3-1 home defeat at the hands of Brighton and Hove Albion.

After the final whistle, Ruben Amorim told reporters that it was Rashford’s own decision not to be part of the squad. Amorim also insisted that he would not reinstate a player he does not believe to be “the best for the team.”

Rashford has not been short of suitors, with the likes of AC Milan, Juventus, Napoli, Como, Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona, West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur all thought to be interested in signing him on loan this month.

However, his hefty £325,000-per-week wages have ensured that any transaction is not easy to get done.

A recent report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that Dortmund are leading the race for Rashford, with a medical even possibly taking place later this week.

However, Sky Sports have now suggested that Rashford may not get his desired move before transfer deadline day on February 3rd.

According to the news outlet, “A deal for Marcus Rashford to leave Manchester United in this window is looking increasingly difficult.”

“Borussia Dortmund will continue to push but the finances remain a big issue as they would require United to contribute a substantial percentage of his wages.”

“United are understood to be relaxed over the situation.”

Rashford has scored 138 goals in 426 games for United since he broke into the first team as a teenager.
