Marcus Rashford comments will have Man Utd fans delighted amid transfer talk

Pat Nevin has expressed concerns about Chelsea possibly pursuing Manchester United superstar Marcus Rashford, warning that the price tag may lead to another costly mistake.

With Sir Jim Ratcliffe ushering in a new era at Old Trafford, various reports suggest that several members of the Red Devils' squad could face an uncertain future in the forthcoming transfer window. One such player is England international Rashford.

The striker's slump in form has prompted talk of a move away from the club he's been with since his youth. Heavyweights Barcelona and PSG have shown interest; additionally, rumours have hinted at Chelsea as a possible destination.

However, ex-Chelsea and Everton forward Nevin warned such a move could be calamitous for the London club. The risk, he cautioned, lies in the significant fee required to secure Rashford, who may not live up to such high expectations.

While talking to Genting Casinos about this potential transaction, Nevin shared: "There is a fear when I think about Marcus Rashford going to Chelsea. He is a good player, but he had several difficulties last season and hasn't looked quite himself."

He further elucidated the financial implications: "You're also going to have to pay a huge amount of money for Rashford and Chelsea can't afford to make more mistakes financially, that's no secret. You need to make sure you do this right. I have no idea what sort of Chelsea team we could see by the start of next season, could Mudryk be gone too?

"There's a million different things.
