Marcus Rashford has reportedly asked to leave Man United during the January transfer window and the Red Devils’ Premier League rivals Aston Villa are among the three clubs interested in the winger.
The Englishman has been at the Manchester club throughout his career and there is a certain amount of pressure that comes with graduating from Man United’s academy. Rashford has been up to the task for the most part, but the last two campaigns have been woeful for the 26-year-old.
The winger produced just eight goals and six assists in 43 games last season, while the current term has seen the Englishman contribute just one goal and one assist in his first eight Premier League games.
That is well below the level of a player who has scored 134 goals in his Man United career and perhaps the pressure is starting to get to the United academy graduate.
according to The NationalRashford has now asked to leave the Premier League giants and has told his agent to find him a new club as soon as possible, which could see the winger leave Old Trafford in January.
The report says three clubs have shown an interest in the 26-year-old, but it remains to be seen whether United will allow him to leave mid-season.
Aston Villa are open to bringing Marcus Rashford to Villa Park in January
Aston Villa, Napoli and Marseille are said to be the clubs ready to sign Rashford in January with the Italian club seen as the frontrunners in the race due to Antonio Conte’s interest in the England winger.
That comes later TeamTalk he reported interest from both Bayern Munich and Marseille, who followed recent interest from Paris Saint-Germain.
Despite their poor run of form, the 26-year-old remains an important part of United’s current squad and it is hard to see the Manchester club allowing the player to leave before next summer’s transfer window.
If he does, that would be a sensational story for the January window, especially if the Man United star ends up at Aston Villa.
