Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford could receive offers from Saudi Arabia if he decides to leave Old Trafford, according to The Telegraph.
It was reported earlier this week that the Red Devils are open to selling the 27-year-old and it is believed that the club feel that off-field issues are affecting his performance.
While some supporters on X would back a sale, others don’t believe that any team will come up with the necessary funds to purchase Rashford:
Just sell him please ๐

I'd be very surprised if Rashford moved to Saudi.
I'm sure the club would welcome the move, but I would expect Rashford to prefer a PSG or similar move.
Happy to get him off the books if he wants to go to Saudi as they are most likely to offer the wages he is on.

This is the biggest issue when selling our players. They have really high salary and out of the form. There are no teams who can afford to buy themโฆ

Be the best thing for Rashford and for the club. Saudi maybe a bit too early, but France or the Bundesliga would be perfect. His high wage demands, though, will always be the main stumbling block

He's not going to Saudi.

Said for a while, a move would be beneficial to both Club and Player. He needs a fresh start… look at Kane, at Bayern.

The final decision may come down to Ruben Amorim
It should be pointed out that, while Rashford did start the new head coach’s first two league games in charge, he was only a substitute against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest.
Whether that is an indication of where he fits into Amorim’s plans, we shall have to wait and see. If he isn’t a key player for the Portuguese coach, it may hasten the forward’s exit.
United do need to raise funds to revamp the squad
One of the other motivations for selling Rashford is PSR. The England international is an academy product so he would go down as pure profit on the balance sheet.
That would give the Red Devils room to manoeuvre in the transfer market. Without additional funds, it will be hard for Amorim to build the squad he needs to succeed.
