Marcus Rashford’s future at Manchester United was thrown into question after a disappointing 2023/24 season. The 26-year-old forward’s struggles saw him fall out of favour with both club and country, scoring only eight goals under Erik ten Hag and missing out on a spot in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the 2024 Euros.
However, Rashford appears determined to win back his place at Old Trafford. According to journalist Henry Winter, Rashford has spent his summer on a mission to “reset” himself. This dedicated training regime includes staying fit, reporting back to Carrington early, and focusing on overall improvement.
While an exit from Manchester United can’t be entirely ruled out, Rashford seems intent on proving his worth to Ten Hag.
This determination comes amidst reported interest from Paris Saint-Germain, who view Rashford as a potential replacement for Kylian Mbappe following his move to Real Madrid. The Ligue 1 giants are rumoured to be preparing a £60 million bid for the English forward.
Elsewhere at Old Trafford, Bruno Fernandes’ future is also uncertain. The Portuguese midfielder is a target for several clubs in the Saudi Pro League, with TEAMtalk suggesting he might be open to offers. Fernandes is reportedly waiting for Portugal’s Euros campaign to conclude before making a decision. This potential move comes after former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo publicly expressed his desire to reunite with Fernandes at Al-Nassr. Manchester United, meanwhile, haven’t prioritized extending Fernandes’ contract, further fueling speculation about his departure.
Finally, Manchester United faces competition in their pursuit of young winger Jaden Philogene. Crystal Palace have reportedly submitted a bid for the 22-year-old Hull City star, joining Tottenham, Everton, and Ipswich Town in the race for his signature. Philogene’s impressive performance last season, with 12 goals and 6 assists in the Championship, has attracted significant interest. Despite Barcelona’s reported interest, Philogene has publicly stated his preference for a Premier League move, potentially opening the door for a switch to Old Trafford.
