Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford he is reportedly available for around £60m this January as all parties would ideally see him leave Old Trafford.

However, there is seemingly no market for Rashford at that £60m price, while there are also concerns over high wages and the England international’s poor recent form.

This according to a publication from Sky Sportswho declare it Rashford would also ideally like to move on for a new challenge this January, but even a loan looks like it could require a significant compromise.

Rashford was a star player for Manchester United not too long ago, but his form has dropped drastically over the last year and a half and it now looks like the Red Devils will struggle to find suitors for him.

Rashford’s stock has fallen quite dramatically in a relatively short space of time, with Sky Sports noting that his off-field issues also appear to be affecting his marketability at the moment.

On his day, the 27-year-old can be a formidable athlete up front, capable of scoring and creating and beating players with his pace and ability.

What happened to that Rashford we have seen for so many years is not clear, but now it looks like a big problem for United.

A £60m sale of an unwanted player like him could do MUFC the world of good, but it’s hard to see anyone paying anywhere near that for him at the moment.

That could mean United would have to accept a significantly lower fee, or else Rashford risks running out of contract, eating up their wages and then leaving once his current deal expires.
