Where next for Marcus Rashford? Latest odds as Man United ace ponders exit

One of the biggest challenges for new Man United manager Ruben Amorim was always going to be resolving the Rashford conundrum.

On one hand, the Red Devils homegrown talent is a world class player when performing at his optimal. Trouble is, the Englishman has been far from optimal for some time.

In a recent interview with journalist Henry Winter, the 27-year-old said: “For me, personally, I think I’m ready for a new challenge and the next steps.

“When I leave it’s going to be ‘no hard feelings’. You’re not going to have any negative comments from me about Manchester United.”

Amorim played off the comments, insisting that helping to retore United to their former glory is the challenge ahead.

Difficult decisions will need to be made with regards to the forward. Here, we take a look at the list of options currently on the table.

 

Where next for Marcus Rashford?

Barcelona – 9/4
PSG – 4/1
Stay at Man Utd – 7/1
Any Saudi Arabian club – 7/1
Arsenal – 7/1
Atletico Madrid – 9/1
Chelsea – 12/1
Inter Milan – 12/1
Bayern Munich – 14/1

Barcelona

Of all the options on the table, Barcelona seems the likeliest destination for Rashford.

According to recent reports, the Spanish giants are showing interest in securing his signature, even wiling to make it a loan deal before deciding on a permanent move.

The big hurdle which could thwart this deal from happening is the huge wage bill that comes with his signature.

Barcelona are already in a difficult financial situation, meaning the Englishman may need to lower his financial expectations if a permanent move is to progress.

 

Paris Saint-Germain

Rashford was heavily linked with PSG at one point, though interest from the French side appears to have cooled in recent weeks.

The club spoke with Rashford’s representatives twice before the Englishman put pen to paper on a new deal at Old Trafford in the summer of 2023.

PSG are dominating the domestic scene as usual, but they have endured a particularly difficult campaign in the Champions League - picking up a measly two victories from six games.

 

Manchester United

Another option – one which does tend to get overlooked – is that Rashford could remain with his current employers. 

And why not? The forward has a contract with the club which runs until June 2028. It’s a deal which sees Rashford earn around £325,000 per week – not bad for a current bench warmer.

 

Any Saudi Arabian club

Speaking of a big weekly wage, Rashford could be tempted by a big cheque from one of the Saudi Pro League clubs.

The competition has already captured the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar Jr, Aleksandar Mitrovic, Karim Benzema, Ivan Toney and a plethora of other superstar names.

However, a move to Saudi Arabia would deny Rashford the opportunity to compete in Europe against some of the best clubs in the world – something he surely desires at his peak age.

Then again, staying at United could also deny him European football should the Red Devils continue to struggle in the Premier League. 

 

Arsenal

Arguably the most controversial move on the list is Arsenal considering a move to a Premier League rival would undoubtedly aggravate the United supporters.

Then again, Arsenal have showed far more ambition than the Red Devils in recent years, challenging for the title and coming up agonisingly short.

Stranger things have happened and it’s no surprise to see Arsenal remain on the list.
