Marcus Rashford’s future at Manchester United is uncertain after the forward dropped a bombshell interview this week revealing he is ready for a new challenge away from Old Trafford.
The 27-year-old is a product of United’s academy having joined the club as a youngster. He made his senior debut in 2016 and has now amassed over 400 first-team appearances across all competitions.
This season, Rashford has scored seven goals in his 24 appearances so far, but was left out of Ruben Amorim’s last two matchday squads against Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur. Although he has a number of years left on his contract at United, speculation around his future is intensifying ahead of the January transfer window.
A recent report from talkSPORT suggests at least three Saudi Pro League clubs are interested in signing Rashford should he depart Old Trafford. Al Ahli, Al Ittihad and Al Qadsiah are all rumoured to be potential suitors, while Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain have also been linked.
Interestingly, United-linked Ivan Toney joined Saudi Arabian side Al Ahli in the summer when he departed Brentford. The 28-year-old was initially tipped to join either Arsenal or United in the last transfer window, but a move to either club failed to materialise and he insisted opted to move abroad.
Toney has scored eight goals and registered three assists across all competitions so far this season, which is a marked improvement on his stats from the previous campaign, in which he spent the first few months on the sidelines due to suspension.
