Manchester United’s plans for January take a hit as Marcus Rashford’s potential move is blocked, disappointing several clubs.
They’ve had some decent results lately, like that draw against Liverpool and a penalty win over Arsenal, even with just ten players. But now, they really need to keep that momentum going with three home games lined up.
After Southampton, they’ll take on Brighton and then Rangers in the Europa League. But with the transfer window open, they’ve got a lot on their plate.
There’s chatter about players leaving, especially with the financial constraints they’re facing. One big story is about Milos Kerkez, a left-back from Bournemouth. Liverpool seems to be ahead in the race to sign him, which is a bummer for United since they really need someone like him.
And then there’s Marcus Rashford. Reports say United won’t let him go to any Premier League team this month, which has left clubs like Chelsea, Tottenham, and West Ham pretty upset. European teams like AC Milan and Barcelona are also interested, but it seems like he’s staying put for now.
It’s a tricky situation for United, especially with the summer transfer window looming. They might have to rethink their strategy if they want to sell Rashford later on.
