Marcus Rashford is unhappy that Manchester United sounded out potential buyers for the forward without informing him.
Sources close to Rashford have accused United of informing clubs of the 27-year-old’s availability and that he was unaware of the developments.
United have not made a concrete decision to sell Rashford and well-placed sources say no specific conversations with intermediaries have been held about him, though they concede it is probable Rashford was mentioned given the speculation over his future.
United were prepared to sell Rashford in the summer if there had been a market for the England international, though club figures stressed their preference was to keep Rashford and help him regain form. United received no offers for a player on a £325,000-a-week contract.
Rashford will be made available for transfer during the January transfer window amid the possibility he has played for United for the last time. United have two more games this calendar year against Wolves and Newcastle United.
Tension has mounted between Rashford and United since the start of last season. Rashford was disciplined by former manager Erik ten Hag in October 2023 for attending a birthday party at Chinawhite on Deansgate hours after United lost 3-0 to Manchester City at Old Trafford. Rashford was also dropped from the squad for United’s FA Cup fourth round tie at Newport County in January after he embarked on a boozy bender in Belfast.
