In transfer news, interest in Marcus Rashford from Manchester United is heating up, with at least three clubs keen on acquiring the talented forward.
Rashford, who is 27, appears likely to leave Old Trafford, either in January or during the summer transfer window, especially after being excluded from matchday squads by new manager Ruben Amorim for five consecutive matches.
Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano noted that there are “movements” surrounding Rashford’s potential transfer. Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan have inquired about the terms of a deal, and Turkish champions Galatasaray have also shown interest. However, Romano mentioned that Rashford is currently prioritizing opportunities in the top five leagues.
