Manchester United can be forced to increase £ 20 million to Marcus Rashford – if he leaves the club this summer.
The extraordinary attacker, 27, is on loan in Aston Villa for the rest of the season.
Rashford was frozen by Baas Ruben Amorim after he claimed in December that he was looking for a “new challenge”.
The 27-year-old striker has made five performances for Villa in the Premier League since he was connected in January, but still has to score.
Rashford wrote a huge contract extension with the Red Devils in the summer of 2023.
It is said that it is worth no less than £ 325,000 a week and runs until 2028.
According to the mail, United could bank “only £ 20 million” if they sell Rashford to Villa.
The side of Unai Emery has an option to buy Rashford for £ 40 million if he proves a hit during his loan saying.
But the report claims that Villa is “unlikely to match his current salary”.
United can therefore pay off the rest of the Rashford deal if he left the club early.
Insiders have told the mail that this figure would be “in the £ 20 million region”.
Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe of United revealed the terrible state of the finances of the team on Monday.
Ratcliffe – who has strictly cost strict cost savings in the club – claimed that the Red Devils would no longer have had cash this year if his investment of £ 300 million would not have been.
Rashford has proven a hit with his new teammates since he ended the M6 to become a member of Villa.
He looked back at his fairly flowing best in a 3-1 win over Club Brugge last week.
And Captain John McGinn claims that Rashford – together with new signing Asensio – is a “breath of fresh air”.
McGinn said: “[They have] Bring clearly with a great reputation, but they have not shown any ego.
“They are quite maintenance care, they work hard to get their career back on track.
“They clearly did not play in their clubs, so what we can give them is a platform to do that and be happy.
“The only thing we want in exchange is that they are a good teammate, work hard, do the things we have all done in recent seasons and showing their quality.
“They have been brilliant.”
