Man United ace Marcus Rashford has been definitively rejected by Juventus, after the Italian giants turned down the chance to sign the England international in favor of a possible pursuit of a player who only he has scored three times in the current Premier League season. .
It has not been a vintage Premier League season for Man United or for Marcus Rashford personally, with the the club’s board of directors making their views on their striker clear.
Marcus Rashford rejected by Juventus
Stan Collymore is only an ex-professional, now an expert, to suggest that it is it’s time for Rashford to leave Old Trafford.
The stumbling block is, of course, his £300,000-a-week (capology). Even under normal circumstances, that’s a salary at the top end, but given his current poor form, it’s arguable that Rashford isn’t worth anywhere near that outlay at the moment.
It’s surely in everyone’s best interest that it happened as soon as possible, even though the Italian giants have turned down their best offer. Juventus.
according to The SunThe Bianconeri have turned down the chance to sign Rashford, but would instead prefer his team-mate Joshua Zirkzee, signed from Bologna in the summer and who has managed a pathetic three Premier League goals since the start of the campaign. season (transfer market).
Juve want Zirkzee instead of Marcus Rashford
The link is perhaps not so surprising, given that the manager of Zirkzee in Bologna, Thiago Mottahe is now in the same position at Juve, and it is understood that the Dutch striker’s stock in Italy remains high.
What it is likely to do for Rashford is further reduce the confidence of a player who appears to be at his lowest ebb as a professional footballer.
It seems the best he can hope for at this stage is a loan move away from Man United and the chance to resurrect his career elsewhere, and away from the constant glare of publicity.
