David Ornstein reveals Man Utd would sell Marcus Rashford on two conditions

David Ornstein has revealed that Manchester United would only sell Marcus Rashford on two conditions.

Rashford has struggled for form this term, having only scored eight goals and provided five assists in his 40 appearances for United.

However, the previous campaign saw him have the most successful scoring season of his career, netting 30 goals in 56 matches across all competitions. Such form saw him rewarded with a five-year contract, which runs until June 2028.

And according to Ornstein, The Athletic’s transfer guru, United would only consider selling the forward in the coming window should a substantial offer arrive, or if he tells the club he wants to leave.

United are reportedly not proactively looking to sell the England star, with the club’s preference said to be keeping the 26-year-old and working with him to get him back to his best.

Last week, Erik ten Hag backed Rashford to recapture his best form for United.

The Dutchman said: “I have a lot of sympathy for Rashy. Last year, he had a brilliant season, the best season in his career, 30 goals.

“This season he didn’t give the performances and then people are very critical. I think we have to back him. Everyone should back him and push him to get back to the levels he was at last year.

“I think he needs support. We all know what he’s capable of. We all have to support but also to push him. He can do better than he is doing this year and we have seen that last year when he was really brilliant.”

Meanwhile, The Telegraph has reported that United are prepared to listen to offers for the majority of the first-team squad this summer.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his Ineos Group are thought to be ready to adopt an ultra-flexible approach to the summer window given their tight financial constraints and likely lack of Champions League football.

While the likes of Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund are not for sale, the Telegraph alleged that United would genuinely consider a credible offer for Rashford.
