Chelsea told they will get chance to sign £40M star in January

Sky Sports’ Gary Neville has been speaking on the future of CHELSEA target Marcus Rashford and claimed that he could actually leave Manchester United when the January window opens up in a few weeks time

According to the Telegraph, United started welcoming bids for the 27-year-old last summer following a drastic loss of form, and are ready to let him leave the club when the January window opens up next month, and could accept just £40 million for the star

And ahead of the game with Bournemouth at the weekend, when Rashford was omitted from the squad once again, Neville has been speaking on the future of Rashford and claimed that he could leave in January: “Marcus Rashford’s absence isn’t really a surprise any more. It’s something of the norm.

“You leave him out for three matches on the bounce, something really is going wrong or has gone wrong.

“It’s not looking great for both Marcus’ future at the club or Manchester United keeping him. I suspect it’s getting to the point in the journey where there is an inevitable ending.

“If you’d said to me seven or eight days ago whether Rashford could leave in January, I’d say no chance.

“One thing in the past with players at a big club, if you’re talking to me about it every single week, it becomes a distraction for the manager and the focal point of the press conference, that’s when it does become obvious they have to leave.

“It’ll probably work for both parties. There’s good examples of players who have struggled at Man Utd and gone on to do better elsewhere – Jadon Sancho at Chelsea, Scott McTominay didn’t struggle but he’s doing well at Napoli.

“Marcus might think that’s the right thing for him as well.”
