Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford is abuzz with transfer rumors and it seems as if the door is slowly closing on him in the winter window. Rumors suggest that he is set to be called up under the Milan banner, but the truth is far from so clear-cut.The Athletic's Manchester United follow up reporter, Laurie Whitwell, has revealed that Rashford has suffered a cold shoulder under Amorim's tutelage and has publicly declared his quest for new horizons, making the suspense over his transfer ever more tense.
However, Rashford's high salary is like an impenetrable fortress, hindering his transfer path. Numerous interested clubs have backed off due to salary pressure, and his market value has shrunk significantly as a result. In order to realize Rashford's transfer, not only do they need to come up with a clever strategy, but they must also get financial support from Manchester United to reduce his salary burden.
Although Italy and Milan are seen as the most likely home for Rashford, their need is for a winger capable of playing on the right, which doesn't exactly fit with Rashford's natural position, further adding to the transfer fog.
Meanwhile, United's youth products such as Gana Joe and Menu are also in the limelight on the transfer map. While their departures may have struck a chord with the fans, the United management is expected to make sensible choices once the right offers are received. In addition, highly paid players such as Casemiro and Anthony have also been seen as potential candidates for deals aimed at easing the financial pressure on the team since the Inglis Group took the helm.
