Manchester United Open to Permanent Sale
United are reportedly seeking around £40 million and are not considering another loan move.
The 28-year-old winger is a product of Manchester United's youth academy and made his debut for the club in 2015, but the player had two loan spells in 2025 to Aston Villa and Barcelona due to Ruben Amorim's decision to exclude the player from his plans.
Could Rashford Stay at Old Trafford?
Unless one of Europe's elite clubs makes a move before the window closes, Rashford could find himself back in Manchester United's first-team plans under Michael Carrick.
