Manchester United are exploring the possibility of using Marcus Rashford as part of a deal to acquire Victor Osimhen from Napoli, where he is currently on loan to Galatasaray.
Marcus Rashford has faced challenges securing a consistent role under Ruben Amorim at Manchester United, having been excluded from three of the last four matchday squads. This comes in light of his recent statements expressing a desire for a ‘new challenge.’
According to reports from The Sun, United are looking to navigate their financial limitations after an extensive summer transfer window by proposing a swap that could include Rashford to help negotiate Osimhen’s £62 million release clause. This follows previous discussions between the clubs over the summer, including the successful loan of Scott McTominay to Italy.
As the January window approaches, United are eager to strengthen their attacking options, given the difficulties experienced by Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee in the striker position. They have been linked with various forwards, including Viktor Gyokeres, although financial constraints are a factor in their decision-making.
With the January transfer window imminent, the club must promptly address the situations concerning Rashford and Osimhen. In the meantime, Amorim will focus on improving team performance, starting with the upcoming challenging match against Liverpool, who are currently leading the Premier League.
Sources indicate that Osimhen is content with his loan at Galatasaray, where he has made a significant impact with 12 goals and four assists in 16 appearances. The Turkish club is also interested in securing a permanent deal for the 26-year-old and is actively pursuing sponsorship opportunities to facilitate this transfer.
