Manchester United fixed the price of Marcus Rashford before the Glazer family left and the Old Trafford team was taken over by the new owner.

In today’s exclusive labeled news (February 19), the Daily Star (UK) headlined: “Manchester United bid for Marcus Rashford before the club takeover process happens and the Glazers leave”. The star of the “red devils” Marcus Rashford is in impressive form since the 2022 World Cup.

Marcus Rashford, who has scored 22 goals in all competitions this season, has 16 months left on his current contract with MU after the “red Devils” activated a one-year extension option to prevent him from becoming a free agent in September. Six.

But with the English striker yet to sign a £300,000-a-week contract extension with the Old Trafford team, it is certain that Rashford will be the target of Europe’s top teams as long as the deadlock persists. .

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Real Madrid are expected to lead the race for Rashford. Meanwhile, Barcelona, ​​who saw Rashford’s talent clearly in the Europa League first leg at the Nou Camp on Friday, are also monitoring the situation closely.

But these three clubs have to spend big to get United’s resurgent trump card. During the World Cup finals, MU leadership valued Rashford, who has 51 caps for the Three Lions, at about £80 million.

But that number has increased dramatically thanks to Marcus Rashford’s brilliant form since the World Cup. Rashford scored 14 goals in 16 games since the World Cup for MU.

Meanwhile, with Chelsea spending £106 million on the only player to shine in the World Cup, Enzo Fernandez, MU believes that Rashford is worth £120 million, even if he has just over a year left on his contract. £200,000/week at Old Trafford.

Of course, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, who played a key role in Marcus Rashford’s fantastic season, is keen to keep him in the future. Whether the Dutch strategist succeeds or not depends on who the new owner of MU is in the coming days.

The INEOS group of billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Qatari group led by Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani have submitted an application to buy MU before the deadline at 10pm on Friday night (UK time).

If the American owner, the Glazer family, decides to sell MU, the main priority of the new board will be to “bind” Marcus Rashford with a contract extension as soon as possible.

Marcus Rashford grew up in the Carrington academy of MU and is the “son” of Manchester. He has been a fan of the Old Trafford team since childhood. Therefore, it is very unlikely that Rashford wants to leave the “theater of dreams”. But in football and in life, anything is possible. That is why MU actively values ​​Rashford if the English star does not reach an agreement to extend the contract with the club.
