Man Utd make surprise Marcus Rashford calendar call as homegrown forward pushes for transfer away from Old Trafford

Europa League

Manchester United

Real Sociedad

<p>Rashford has not featured in United’s last three matchday squads, with head coach Ruben Amorim opting to leave him out against <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-bournemouth-noussair-mazraoui-joshua-zirkzee-bruno-fernandes/blt5d0916dd9a2b28f8" target="_blank">Manchester City, Tottenham and Bournemouth. </a>The England international has also <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/marcus-rashford-reveals-desire-to-leave-man-utd-bombshell-interview-derby-snub-ruben-amorim/blt98cdbc7c391c455e" target="_blank">declared he is "ready for a new challenge"</a>, suggesting he will look to secure a transfer away from Old Trafford in 2025. Despite this, fans will still be able to pin Rashford up on their walls as he has been included as the face of the January section on the club's new calendar.</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Marcus Rashford named Mr January for Man United’s 2025 calendar - despite departure rumours<a href="https://t.co/VOoTCm18cA">https://t.co/VOoTCm18cA</a></p>— The Sun Football ⚽ (@TheSunFootball) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheSunFootball/status/1871451039439651016?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 24, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Despite the ongoing uncertainty around Rashford, the calendar has proven to be a hot commodity among fans. Priced at £12, it has already sold out on United’s official website, showing that Rashford’s popularity endures even as his future at the club hangs in the balance.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>A source told <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/32467876/marcus-rashford-mr-january-man-united-2025-calendar/" target="_blank"><em>The Sun</em></a>: “Rashford’s future at the club remains uncertain. He may not be here after the transfer window opens in just over a week’s time. At least he’s the face of January - it’s likely he won’t be around much longer.”</p><p></p>

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

<p>United are reportedly open to offers for Rashford and have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/more-marcus-rashford-drama-man-utd-transfer-ploy-wantaway-attacker-fuming-revealed/blt428fa9b2e3106387#cs8522898e7ef80ed1" target="_blank">placed a £40 million valuation</a> on the forward. The club hopes to receive formal approaches in January, but the process could be complicated by <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/sir-jim-ratcliffe-makes-key-marcus-rashford-decision-ruben-amorim-leaves-striker-out-of-squad-third-time/blt3dd31fd1536aeca9#cs1e7572b50d4cb4a7" target="_blank">Rashford’s lucrative £325,000-a-week contract. </a>Several clubs are reportedly monitoring Rashford’s situation. Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have both been linked with the player in the past, while Saudi Arabia has also been mooted as an option for the 27-year-old.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Amorim has repeated that it is his call to keep Rashford on the sidelines, not the club's, and it remains to be seen if the Portuguese manager will grant him a recall when the Red Devils take on Wolves away from home on Boxing Day.</p>
