Marcus Rashford only has one transfer offer on the table, with Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim no longer on speaking terms with the striker and a club legend stating that he deserves “banished”.

Rashford is set to be a major headache for Man Utd heading into the final week of the transfer window, with The Guardian revealing that he and Amorim cannot stand each other – a fact made clear by the boss when he said he would rather have the goalkeeper coach on the bench than the England forward.

Wages are a huge issue as the Old Trafford club try to ship the player out on loan. Barcelona have been interested but a deal has been reliant upon Ansu Fati leaving – something that he has decided again. Borussia Dortmund have also looked, but Rashford’s salary has been too great for them to make a move.

Interest now comes from Serie A and misfiring Juventus, The Independent states. Worryingly for both Rashford and Man Utd, this is the only club actively tracking him at this point, raising the possibility that he could be frozen out of the squad for an extended period of time like Jadon Sancho was under Erik ten Hag.

“Rashford’s demands have essentially ensured only two options are currently being considered: Juventus, on loan until the end of the season, and Barcelona as a permanent move in the future,” the report states.

It goes on to add that “few” clubs are willing to pay even 50% of the 27-year-old’s wages, which reportedly stand at €400,000 per week.

Rashford told to get out

Man Utd legend Paul Scholes slammed Rashford's behaviour, claiming that he deserves to be “banished” from the club.

“I think Marcus has let a lot of people down really with his attitude, and I think that's what the manager is trying to say,” Scholes told The Overlap.

“You think of the young players coming through the team, think of Alejandro Garnacho, they're looking up to people like Marcus now – he's 27 years of age, and he's clearly not training properly.

“I remember years ago when I told Sir Alex Ferguson I didn't want to play in that Arsenal game.

“He said to me: ‘The worst thing you did is let your team-mates down,’ and that really stuck with me because I wasn't really thinking about that. And now I think Marcus Rashford, he's doing exactly the same.

“OK, he's not refusing to play, but in the way he's behaving and the way he's training, in a way he is saying I don't want to be involved with these.

“So I think the fact of letting your team-mates down in that dressing room, he should be banished from the dressing room really.

“If he's in and around that and young people are seeing that as an example, the sooner he's gone the better.”
