Despite the ongoing uncertainty around Rashford, the calendar has proven to be a hot commodity among fans. Priced at £12, it has already sold out on United’s official website, showing that Rashford’s popularity endures even as his future at the club hangs in the balance.
WHAT HAS BEEN SAID
A source told : “Rashford’s future at the club remains uncertain. He may not be here after the transfer window opens in just over a week’s time. At least he’s the face of January – it’s likely he won’t be around much longer.”
DID YOU KNOW?
United are reportedly open to offers for Rashford and have placed a £40 million valuation on the forward. The club hopes to receive formal approaches in January, but the process could be complicated by Rashford’s lucrative £325,000-a-week contract. Several clubs are reportedly monitoring Rashford’s situation. Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have both been linked with the player in the past, while Saudi Arabia has also been mooted as an option for the 27-year-old.
