Marcus Rashford informs Manchester United of decision over future
Marcus Rashford has reportedly informed Manchester United of his decision to stay at the club, despite rumors of a potential exit this summer. According to 90min, Rashford is "fully focused" on recapturing his form and has no intention of leaving Old Trafford.
This news comes as a surprise, given Manchester United's openness to selling Rashford due to his struggles during the 2023-24 campaign. The 25-year-old forward has managed only eight goals and five assists in 40 appearances this season, a significant drop from his impressive 30 goals and 10 assists in the previous season.
Rashford's decision to stay at Manchester United is a boost for the club, as they look to rebuild and strengthen their squad under new owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe. However, it's worth noting that Manchester United will not sanction a cut-price exit for Rashford, with only offers of around £70m being considered by the club.
Rashford signed a new long-term deal at Manchester United after his impressive 2022-23 campaign, and the club is keen to see him return to form. The England international has often cut a frustrated figure this season, but his commitment to the club is a positive sign for fans.
