Man Utd attacker expected to leave in 2026

Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford is expected to leave on a permanent basis at the end of the campaign, according to reputed journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The England international fell out-of-favour under manager Ruben Amorim and he was loaned out to Barcelona with an option to buy for around £26 million next summer.

Rashford has made a huge impression for the Catalan heavyweights, scoring six goals and nine assists from 16 appearances.

Barcelona are still yet to decide on the buy clause, but the attacker does not see his future at United beyond this campaign.

Alongside Rashford, Jadon Sancho is poised to depart the Mancunian giants on a free transfer when his contract expires.

His current deal concludes in June next year, and United have no plans of triggering a one-year extension clause to keep him.

The Red Devils are likely to bolster their attacking department with at least one recruit at the end of the 2025/26 season.
