Manchester United could be forced to pay £ 20 million if Marcus Rashford leaves this summer, where the English star is confronted in Old Trafford in an uncertain future.
Rashford is currently on loan for Aston Villa after a fight with Ruben Amorim at United and it seems unlikely that he will return to his boy's club in the summer.
Villa has an option to permanently sign Rashford for £ 40 million if his loan agreement is a success, but it is unlikely that the side of Unai Emery could pay his huge salary of £ 325,000 a week.
While United could eventually come up with £ 40 million for Rashford, the club could pay off the rest of its contract to meet its requirements, which yields up to around £ 20 million – according to the Daily Mail.
Rashford's current deal at Old Trafford runs until 2028 after he had agreed a contract extension in 2023, but after his row, honoring that deal looks increasingly unlikely with Amorim, who accused the player of “not giving the maximum” in training.
The 27-year-old came to the club of seven years and was made 426 performances for the Red Devils, and scored 138 times.
His threatening contract situation comes after Sir Jim Ratcliffe gave an candid interview that revealed the financial difficulties of the club and how to spend millions on player wage and transfer costs owed.
Speaking with Gary Neville on the overlap, he said: “If you look at the players we will buy this summer that we have not bought, in other words, we are buying Antony this summer. We buy [Jadon] Sancho this summer, we buy [Rasmus] Hojlund, we buy Casemiro, we buy [Andre] Onana.
“It's not a light switch. In your day [Neville’s]You bought a player and that was it. I know that the bill we will pay this summer is £ 89 million for players who have been signed earlier. If we don't buy players, we write a check for £ 89 million this summer. “
Rashford is one of a harvest of united stars that are expected to leave this summer in a delusion that could see no fewer than eight senior players learn.
Ratcliffe insisted that a number of United players were “not good enough” and “too much paid” and the club could now cut their losses on Casemiro, Mason Mount, Christian Eriksen, Viktor Lindelof, Jonny Evans, Rasmus Hojlund, Jadon Sancho and Tom Heaton.
