Transfer Rumors: The real reason why Manchester United won’t sell Marcus Rashford

Manchester United will need to make some tough calls in the summer transfer window when it comes to players they are going to sell, because if they want to sign actual impact talent, they need to raise the funds and clear squad space. Marcus Rashford has been viewed as untouchable by Manchester United over the years, because he is a homegrown talent and one of the most gifted footballers in England. When he is at his best, Rashford is one of the elite players in the Premier League. He has scored 17 goals in two different league seasons, including in the 2022/23 campaign. However, Rashford is frustratingly inconsistent, and he has been especially frustrating in the 2023/24 season, often going invisible in important matches. There has been speculation that with INEOS taking charg...

Transfer Rumors: Manchester United ready to sell 3 star forwards this summer

Manchester United may undergo the most changes of any club in European football this summer, and that may still be the case even if INEOS somehow decides to give Erik ten Hag another season as manager. A lot of changes are expect at the heart of defense, and even the midfield still needs reworking after the unsuccessful summer 2023 signings of Mason Mount (Chelsea) and Sofyan Amrabat (Fiorentina). However, Man United's attack remains dire, even with Rasmus Hojlund starting to come into his own as a first-year United striker. Marcus Rashford has stagnated badly in his second season under ten Hag, Jadon Sancho is flourishing with Dortmund and probably doesn't want to return, and then Antony has looked like an even bigger flop than he did in his first season from Ajax. According to T...

How much is Marcus Rashford worth on the transfer market?

Manchester United star forward Marcus Rashford seemed to be turning the corner under Erik ten Hag last season at the midway point of the Dutch manager's first campaign in charge, but, now, he seems to be as lost at sea as ever. A number of United players have been huge disappointments in 2023/24 under ten Hag, who is very likely going to find himself without a job this summer upon INEOS' takeover at Old Trafford. Yet nobody has been as disappointing as Rashford, compared to the expectations placed on him as the biggest talent at the club. Worse than the growing Rasmus Højlund, Rashford has been poor creatively and frustratingly inconsistent in front of goal. Instead of taking a big step forward as a leader on the pitch, Rashford has been a ghost in most of his matches. The Marcus Ra...

3 Man Utd Players Who Have Had Their Careers Derailed By Erik ten Hag

Manchester United have fallen from grace over the years, and while that decline began before Erik ten Hag was the manager of the club, it feels as though they have hit a new low under the Dutch manager's Draconian rule. Several individual standouts at Old Trafford have suffered mightily under the former Ajax coach. Here are the three players who have been hurt the most by ten Hag in the last two seasons. RW Jadon Sancho How good Jadon Sancho was before Before joining Manchester United in the summer 2022 transfer window, Jadon Sancho was arguably the best player in the Bundesliga alongside Bayern Munich's record-breaking striker Robert Lewandowski - and then his own record-breaking teammate at striker, Erling Haaland. The former Manchester City prospect helped bring the DFB Pokal...
