Football News Update: Rashford to Stay at Man Utd, Sancho Likely to Leave
In the world of football, there are several key updates to report. According to recent reports, Manchester United are set to retain the services of England international Marcus Rashford heading into the next season, despite links with a potential move to Paris Saint-Germain.
Rashford was one of the standout performers for Man Utd during Erik ten Hag’s debut season in 2022/23, scoring an impressive 30 goals across all competitions. However, his form declined this campaign, as he found the net only seven times in 33 Premier League appearances, leading to criticism and his exclusion from the England squad ahead of Euro 2024.
“Despite the speculations surrounding Rashford’s future, a report from Football Transfers suggests that the club ‘expect to keep’ the forward for the upcoming season. The report explains that while there were reports of a fallout between Rashford and Ten Hag, both the player and the manager are looking forward to another campaign together.”
On the other hand, fellow Englishman Jadon Sancho is far more likely to depart Old Trafford this summer. Sancho, who was sent on loan to Borussia Dortmund during the 2023 winter transfer window, is said to have butted heads with Ten Hag last season. After refusing to apologize to the head coach, Sancho was left out of the squad for a Premier League match against Arsenal.
Despite Dortmund’s interest in keeping Sancho, it is understood that they are unlikely to meet Manchester United’s asking price, which is reportedly around £40 million (€50 million). Instead, it has been suggested that Sancho could join Serie A giants Juventus, who are reportedly interested in the winger, although they face an “uphill battle” due to United’s demands.
Additionally, it has been reported that Sancho’s “priority” is to sign for a new Premier League club this summer, indicating that he may continue his career in the English top flight.
As the football world gears up for the upcoming seasons, including the highly anticipated Euro 2024, Champions League, FIFA World Cup, and Women’s World Cup, as well as the domestic competitions such as the Premier League, EFL Cup, EFL Championship, EFL One, EFL Two, and FA Cup, these player transfer updates will undoubtedly be closely monitored by fans and pundits alike.
