Man Utd: Rashford to ‘accept pay cut’ for PL transfer as Red Devils star decides ‘first choice’ move

 Manchester United star Marcus Rashford would reportedly ‘accept a pay cut’ to join a rival Premier League club and there are ‘two’ teams ‘to watch’.

Rashford is expected to leave Man Utd during this summer’s transfer window as he is not part of Ruben Amorim’s plans.

It was initially hoped that the appointment of Amorim would benefit Rashford, but they quickly butted heads and the England international announced his intention to leave his boyhood club ahead of January.

This announcement came after Rashford was omitted from Man Utd’s squad for December’s Manchester derby, with Amorim criticising the forward and Alejandro Garnacho for their poor attitude and performances in training.

Rashford’s dire form and huge salary proved major stumbling blocks for the 27-year-old in January as he did not get his desired move to FC Barcelona.

Instead, Rashford joined Aston Villa on loan with an option to buy for around £40m after they looked to fill the void left by Jhon Duran following his move to Al Nassr.

This move benefited Rashford as he returned to form at Villa Park, grabbing six goals and four assists in his 17 appearances in all competitions.

Rashford’s resurgence has caught the eye of clubs around Europe as he has more options than January, but his reported £325,000 a week salary remains an issue.

A report from Caught Offside claims Rashford is looking to get around this issue by ‘accepting a pay cut’ amid interest from three Premier League clubs.
