Marcus Rashford has been tipped to complete a shock transfer away from Manchester United in a move that would stun the Premier League.
Man United are reportedly open to offers for Rashford, who has spent his entire career at the Old Trafford outfit.
A shock price tag has been slapped on his head ahead of a potential move away from his boyhood club.
The 'real reason' why the Red Devils would be willing to offload their academy graduate emerged amid swirling speculation.

Paris Saint-Germain have been previously linked with Rashford and could reignite their pursuit ahead of the transfer window reopening.
But Troy Deeney thinks he could end up at Tottenham due to the club's lack of expectation.
On what has gone wrong for the 27-year-old, the former Premier League forward told talkSPORT: "Without being nasty I think he's developed a level of superstar which, because Man United have been so bad over recent years, he's benefited from that.
"From contracts and playing, especially at the start of the season. He was playing and he was awful.

"But he kept playing, and they would take off [Alejandro] Garnacho, take off [Amad] Diallo, whoever it was.
"I just think he's developed a level of superstar-ness when he probably hasn't earned it, if I'm being totally honest with you."
Asked where he thinks Rashford could end up, he replied: "Nastily, he would probably suit Spurs, because there is no expectation on Spurs.

"The players that go there, they're not expected to win the league, are they?"
Deeney could see him join Spurs, who haven't won a major trophy since 2008.
Rashford scored an impressive 30 goals across all competitions in the 2022/23 campaign but has failed to reach those similar heights ever since.
He contributed just eight goals last season and has seven goals to his name this term.
