A former striker has blasted Marcus Rashford and claimed Sir Alex Ferguson would have immediately sold him during his Man Utd tenure

Marcus Rashford is reportedly set to thrash out his Manchester United future in showdown talks today. Reports in the Italian media claim that AC Milan are ‘not giving up’ on a deal for the England international. It comes after Milan advisor and former United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic intervened in the speculation.

And knowing the clock is ticking, Rashford has told Barcelona they have until the end of the day on the 15th of January, 2025, to strike a deal. Rashford’s strict deadline is out of fear his representatives wouldn’t have enough time to agree a move elsewhere before the close of the window.

Man Utd have identified a surprise forward as a replacement for Barcelona target Marcus Rashford, according to a trusted source.

He suggested that under Sir Alex Ferguson's management, Rashford would have been shown the exit swiftly: "Fergie would've booted him out the door by now if he'd have said that while he was in his tenure. He's obviously going to go somewhere. I think his days are numbered at Man United."
