Marcus Rashford has reportedly spent the summer ‘resetting’ himself in order to try and keep his place at Manchester United for the 2024/25 campaign.
The 26-year-old’s struggles last season were highlighted after he was left out of England’s 2024 Euros squad by manager Gareth Southgate following just an eight-goal campaign under Erik ten Hag, the star clearly unable to replicate his 30-goal year the season prior.
Because of that, an exit from Old Trafford is yet to be ruled out for Rashford but according to journalist Henry Winter, he’s been training hard, staying fit and reporting back early at Carrington in order to make himself a better player and to try and keep his place in Ten Hag’s squad. Paris Saint-Germain have been the main team after Rashford this summer, with the Ligue 1 champions said to be likely to offer £60m as they try to replace Kylian Mbappe after his own move to Real Madrid.

Elsewhere, Bruno Fernandes could be on his way out of Old Trafford this summer as reports suggest that he’s one major target for the Saudi Pro League. The Portuguese international is said to make a decision on his future with Man United after his nation leaves the 2024 Euros with claims from TEAMtalk that he’ll be listening to proposals from clubs himself throughout the transfer window as he begins to understand the Saudi project better.
Former Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo has not been shy in the past about his want for Fernandes to play alongside him at Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, with the club also previously said to hold interest in signing Casemiro this summer. It’s said United aren’t urgently trying to tie down their club captain, leading to more rumours of an exit over the coming month.
Finally, Crystal Palace have reportedly submitted a bid for Man United target Jaden Philogene as the race heats up for the 22-year-old according to TEAMtalk. Alongside Erik ten Hag’s side, Tottenham, Everton and Ipswich Town are also said to hold interest in the Hull City winger but Oliver Glasner’s side are looking to replace Michael Olise who is set to join Bayern Munich.
Despite Barcelona also reportedly having an interest in him, Philogene has been on the record to say he’d rather a move to the Premier League fuelling links between him and a move to Old Trafford with the star’s 12 goals and six assists in the Tigers’ Championship campaign last season clearly keeping clubs keen this summer.
