It has been reported that Marcus Rashford's request for a move to a Premier League rival during the January transfer window will not be granted by Manchester United. The 27-year-old has expressed his desire to leave United for a new challenge and his agent and brother, Dwaine Maynard, even traveled to Italy last week to discuss a potential move to AC Milan. However, it seems that the Serie A club has not followed up on their initial interest, and Napoli, who were also linked with Rashford, are now focused on signing Alejandro Garnacho instead.
Other Premier League clubs such as Arsenal, Tottenham, and West Ham have also been linked with Rashford, but according to The Mirror, United's hierarchy and Sir Jim Ratcliffe are not willing to let him join another club in the league. They are, however, open to working with a club from outside the Premier League, as long as they cover at least half of Rashford's £325,000-a-week salary.
Rashford's absence from Manchester United's last seven games has raised questions about his future at the club. When asked about the situation, manager Amorim replied that his only focus is on winning the next game and he will choose the best players for the job. Rashford was not included in the squad for the FA Cup victory over Arsenal last Sunday and there are speculations that he may have already played his final game for the club.
Amorim remained tight-lipped on the matter, stating that he does not know if Rashford will leave or stay at United. He reiterated that Rashford is a player for Manchester United and he has to work hard and represent the club, but as a manager, he has to make tough choices and that's just the way it is. He concluded by saying that he will continue to make selections based on what he believes is best for the team.
