Manchester United supporters have had their say on the proposed price that Marcus Rashford could leave for - and it has divided the fanbase
Rashford, 27, has fallen out of favour with Ruben Amorim in recent weeks and was left out of United’s 20-man matchday squads for four consecutive matches – Manchester City, Tottenham, Bournemouth and Wolves – before being included on the bench for the 2-0 defeat against Newcastle on Monday evening.
The player admitted that he was “ready for a new challenge and the next steps” when speaking with journalist Henry Winter on December 17.
Since he made the admission, several clubs, such as Paris Saint-Germain, Al-Ittihad and Arsenal, have been linked with a potential move for the forward.

Although links with the Gunners have been ‘tentative’, a deal could happen if certain ‘conditions’ are met, as reported by Football Transfers.
One of the supposed conditions would be that Raheem Sterling – currently on loan from Chelsea – would have to return to Enzo Maresca’s side to “create room” in Mikel Arteta’s squad.
It is also suggested that even if the north London club sign Rashford, this will not scupper any potential plans to recruit Nico Williams or Rafael Leao at this time.

Rashford is currently under contract at Man United until June 2028 and is thought to be on a hefty £375,000 per week salary, according to Capology.
The site also reports that Kai Havertz is the Gunners’ top earner, with a gross pay of £280,000 per week.
So Rashford would likely have to take a pay cut to complete a move.
However, Football Transfers also report that Arsenal are “not willing” to pay £25m for the England international as he would “be nothing more than a squad player” in Arteta’s side.

But, United fans were quick to give their thoughts on the potential transfer fee they could receive on social media.
One said: "So they haven’t considered it then have they? Because they are never going to sell for that."
Another added: "£40-50m is good enough."
While a third commented: "Arsenal should know that he is worth more than £25m."

As a fourth explained: "Honestly, at this point in time i would take 25m for Rashford. This is the best for him & the club lets be honest."
