When Manchester United sacked Erik ten Hag they will have been hoping for a clean takeover, one lacking drama and instead, focused on on-pitch matters.
Ruben Amorim has, at least, chatted a good game but the drama has still been forthcoming.
That’s largely centred around ongoing affairs surrounding Marcus Rashford.
The United winger scored the first goal of the Amorim era but things haven’t all gone his way since that 1-1 draw with Ipswich.
The new manager happened to leave Rashford out of the squad when United defeated their arch-rivals City last weekend and he was left out again for the 4-3 loss against Spurs in the Carabao Cup.
Why? Well, an interview with journalist Henry Winter can’t have helped in midweek where the winger made it clear that he was seeking a new challenge.
“For me, personally, I think I’m ready for a new challenge and the next steps.”
So, where could he go? There are a few irons in the fire.
Who Marcus Rashford could sign for
In recent years that have been rumours of a move to PSG but we are yet to get much information on whether the French side would entertain a move at this stage.
However, there are now reports suggesting that Barcelona are an interested party.
According to Football Transfers, the Spanish giants have made contact with the Red Devils regarding a move for the English forward.
They have reportedly admired Rashford for some time now and club president Joan Laporta is keen to jump upon any market opportunity that may emerge in January.
