Manchester: So, it looks like things are still a bit shaky for Marcus Rashford at Manchester United. It’s been almost a month since Ruben Amorim hinted at Rashford’s potential exit, but not much has changed since then. He was left out of the squad for that derby against City, and honestly, it feels like we’re stuck in a bit of a loop.
Rashford’s been in and out of the lineup under the new coach, and while he’s spoken out about his situation, the offers just haven’t rolled in. Sure, there were some Saudi clubs interested, but they didn’t get anywhere. Rashford wants to get back into the England squad, and he’s not ready to throw away his career just yet. At 27, he’s got time to turn things around.
But you have to wonder what United and Rashford are thinking right now. The January transfer window is still open for a few weeks, but it’s going to take some big moves to make anything happen. Teams like Milan and Juventus are reportedly keeping an eye on him, and West Ham is also in the mix. But that’s about it for now, which raises some eyebrows.
United has been linked with Victor Osimhen lately, and some folks even thought he was close to joining them. But keeping Rashford happy is crucial, especially with the clock ticking down. If nothing changes, he might not be a United player by the time the window closes on February 3.
We’ve seen this kind of thing happen before in the European market. Just look at Ben Chilwell and Raheem Sterling at Chelsea last summer. They were both sidelined and had to scramble for new opportunities. Six months on the bench can really mess with a player’s career, and Rashford doesn’t want that.
As for Osimhen, it was clear he wouldn’t be staying at Napoli early on, but getting a deal done is always tricky. He faced the possibility of being left out for half a season, which is never a good look. A move to the Middle East didn’t pan out, and PSG and Napoli couldn’t agree on a price. Chelsea waited too long and wouldn’t meet his wage demands.
After the English and Italian transfer windows closed, it seemed like Osimhen was out of luck. But after scoring 10 goals and providing three assists in the Turkish Super League, he’s back in the spotlight. Galatasaray swooped in to save him, and it’s been a win-win so far.
Even if Osimhen leaves this month, he’s helped Galatasaray stay strong in the league and in Europe. His performance shows he’s got the character to thrive, even in unexpected situations. For United and Rashford, they might need to think outside the box as the window progresses.
If Juventus and Milan keep dragging their feet, and Napoli doesn’t push for a wage agreement, something creative might be necessary. United will have to get inventive to help Rashford, and who knows, it could end up benefiting everyone involved.
For instance, if Rashford were to head to Turkey, it might not be the ideal situation, but it could boost his value. It’s not the first option on the table, but as teams start to see new possibilities, they need to stay open to all options.
