Manchester United legend Marcus Rashford has been tipped to join a struggling Premier League team amid rumours he will leave his boyhood club this month.

Last month, Rashford's threw his future at United into doubt after he revealed he was considering leaving the club to take on a new challenge in an interview with respected journalist Henry Winter.

Several clubs across the world have reportedly been interested in signing the Englishman, with a move outside of the Premier League looking to be the most likely.

But now, a former Premier League CEO has spoken out to reveal that he thinks that Rashford should stay in England to join a team lower in the table.

Keith Wyness, who served as Everton's CEO for five years between 2004 and 2009 is now a top consultant for elite clubs, and has suggested that although United may prefer to see Rashford go abroad, they should consider sanctioning a move to West Ham United.

However, the the 67-year-old admitted that the one potential stumbling block in negotiations between the two clubs would be Rashford's massive £300,000 a week salary.

Speaking on Football Insider‘s Insider Track podcast, he said: “It’s going to come down to what United will accept.

“I think United would consider loaning him to West Ham, depending on how they’re going to split the wages.

“There could be a problem with the wage structure. You couldn’t bring someone in on more than whatever Jarrod Bowen is on.

“It’s going to come down to whether they can jiggle it around."

According to Capology, Bowen, West Ham's star player, currently earns £150,000 per week, exactly half of Rashford's salary.

Therefore, If Rashford were to join the London club, he would likely have to accept a significant reduction in pay, leading to Wyness suggesting that a loan move could be better for all parties.

He added: “I can see United being willing to loan him to West Ham, because they probably don’t see them as a real competitor.

“United aren’t in the hunt for the major European places.

“They want him out of the club, but I think they’d rather see him go overseas if possible.”
