Man Utd transfer news: Red Devils interest 'guaranteed' after surprise Marcus Rashford offer
Share:
The January transfer window is fast approaching and Ruben Amorim may increasingly be wondering if the month could offer some hope. Manchester United's defeat to Bournemouth highlighted once again the work their new manager has to do, with questions over who he can build the team around. Marcus Rashford was left out of the squad for a third time against the Cherries, but is by no means the end of the problems Amorim has to solve.
The Red Devils next face Wolves on Boxing Day with Newcastle to follow before the club have an opportunity to delve into the market. Some of United's squad could be playing for their careers with the 13-times Premier League champions. Mirror Football takes a look at some of the biggest transfer news and rumours surrounding Old Trafford.
Marcus Rashford's latest avenue out of Old Trafford could be via a surpise swap deal. The United academy product has admitted he wants a new challenge with the club open to sanctioning a move. That could see Rashford depart as early as next month, though the Red Devils are keen not to strengthen any of their Premier League rivals. That means teams from Europe could see their interest piqued, with Barcelona said to be a candidate.
However, to get a transfer over the line amid financial constraints, a swap deal is necessary according to reports in Spain. Hansi Flick is now said to have provided ‘the OK’ for Barca to use Ansu Fati as a makeweight to sign Rashford. Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Manchester United are one of a number of clubs chasing Atalanta midfielder Ederson. A deal in the summer has been deemed more likely than in January however.
