Marcus Rashford potential destinations – ranked

Xavi Hernandez

Manchester United are set for a summer clear-out as part of transfer plans under the leadership of INEOS, and Marcus Rashford will not be considered as an untouchable asset.

Reports claim that Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund will be the only players whose futures at Old Trafford will be guaranteed heading into the 2024/25 season.

But for a star player like Rashford, who has underperformed this year and is on £325,000-a-week wages, his fate is not without conditions – namely that he would have to ask to leave and for a club to stump up significant cash.

Where could Rashford go if he leaves United? Let’s look at nine potential destinations.

The Barcelona of yesteryear would be all over this kind of deal. Lord knows they’ve chucked huge amounts of money at any star player within an earshot just to simply boast he is theirs and theirs alone.

Rashford’s reputation in Catalonia is probably quite positive as well considering his fine performance at Camp Nou in United’s 2-2 draw there in last season’s Europa League.

As things currently stand, it’s unlikely Milan could afford Rashford.

That could change if the Rossoneri decided to cash in on Rafael Leao, however. Milan fans have grown fond of Premier League imports like Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Christian Pulisic and Fikayo Tomori. It’d be hard to imagine Rashford not being successful over in Italy too.

A few batterings here and there aside, Tottenham Hotspur have done well to rebuild their reputation as a club for players to want to join this year.

Their fast-and-loose style would suit a breakneck wide forward like Rashford, and Spurs could do with some reinforcements to their frontline.

But, once again,…
