Marcus Rashford rejects three transfer offers as Man United future takes fresh £35m twist

Marcus Rashford has rejected three offers from Saudi Pro League clubs worth up to £35million a year amid uncertainty over his Manchester United future.

Rashford has also ruled out a move to any teams in Turkey as he wants to prioritise a career-driven move ahead of the 2026 World Cup in 18 months' time.

United are prepared to sell Rashford in the winter transfer window after he outlined his desire for a "new challenge" in an interview conducted two weeks ago.

Rashford, 27, earns £325,000-a-week at United and his salary could prove prohibitive as he considers a move to an eminent club this month.

United head coach Ruben Amorim omitted Rashford from four consecutive matchday squads but recalled him for the 2-0 home defeat to Newcastle on Monday night. Rashford was an unused substitute.

Since Rashford addressed his future in an interview with the journalist Henry Winter 15 days ago, United have lost all four of their matches and they have failed to score in their last three league games.

Rashford is determined to earn a recall to the England squad under new coach Thomas Tuchel, having last played for the national side in a friendly against Brazil in March last year.

“That still excites me," Rashford said of playing at a World Cup. "It's playing for your country in the biggest competition in the world. I've had the chance to do it before and it's an unbelievable experience.

"If I get the opportunity again, I'll try and grab it with both hands.”

United are prepared to let Rashford leave on loan if they receive an acceptable offer from an interested club. United would require a loan fee and for the majority of Rashford's wages to be covered.

If Rashford leaves this month then United would seek a replacement for the winger.
