The Athletic: Man Utd man missed his chance to make his mark and impress, now he’s unwanted

How Rashford has fared as of late

Their minds have been swayed in recent weeks, when the 28-year-old was expected to stand up and make his mark in the absence of sidelined counterpart Raphinha.

Rashford did score in his last two La Liga appearances, with Barcelona now poised to win the title after establishing a nine-point lead over second-placed Real Madrid.

However, he failed to contribute in his last three outings in the Champions League, which saw Hansi Flick’s side exit the competition at the quarter-final stage following a 3-2 defeat to Atletico Madrid.

Reports have suggested Rashford would be open to playing for United, his boyhood club, again if need be, though it’s unlikely INEOS chiefs want that to be the case. Instead, they’re already preparing to cash in on the homegrown star, whose transfer would generate pure profit ahead of a major summer overhaul in M16.
