However, with Amorim's arrival, the club's strategic direction seems to be shifting, and Rashford may not fit into the new plans according to the Express.

Financial constraints imposed by Premier League and UEFA regulations are also a factor. United, burdened by debt, may be forced to sell players to balance the books and fund future investments.

Rashford's high salary could make him an unattractive target for other clubs, but his sale could generate substantial funds for Manchester United.

While the prospect of losing Rashford may seem surprising, it highlights the evolving dynamics at Manchester United.

As the club undergoes a period of transition, tough decisions may need to be made to ensure long-term success.
