Manchester United can’t sell Marcus Rashford for less than £100million amid reports that his Old Trafford career is nearing an end, according to club icon Teddy Sheringham. Rashford is being tipped to leave his boyhood club as early as January after reportedly failing to impress Ruben Amorim at the start of his reign.
It’s claimed that Amorim and the United hierarchy, including co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, are in agreement that it’s time to cash in on the 27-year-old forward.
The Red Devils are said to be ready to accept a cut-price fee to offload Rashford as part of a ruthless cultural reboot that has already sparked mass change off the pitch.
However, Sheringham has firmly pushed back any suggestions of selling the academy graduate on the cheap next year.
The 1999 treble winner believes that Rashford is worth a nine-figure sum to United but is convinced his former club must instead prioritise helping him rediscover his best form.
“Oh, you’ve got to be talking £100m,” Sheringham told Express Sport with FreeBets.com.
“I’m very surprised that there’s talk about him leaving United. I think Man United need to keep their best players and get them working to the best of their capabilities. So I’d be very surprised if Marcus leaves.”
Amorim excluded Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho from his matchday squad for Sunday’s derby win against Manchester City.
The Portuguese tactician’s bold move at the Etihad Stadium raised eyebrows, given they are United’s leading and joint-second top goalscorers this season.
Rashford and Garnacho’s omissions were believed to be due to their recent form in matches and training performances.
However, Amorim has reportedly been left particularly unimpressed by Rashford’s application and demeanour since he arrived last month.
And the United No. 10 is now said to be fighting for his future in Manchester as Ineos push to raise standards in every department.
“When people in the club are losing their jobs, we have to push our standards really high,” Amorim explained after full-time in the derby.
“Next week, next game, new life, they are fighting for their places, but for me, it’s important, the performance in training, the performance in games, the way you dress, the way you eat, the way you engage with teammates, the way you push your teammates, everything is important when we want to change a lot of things.
“They have to fight for a place in the team, and today, the team proved we can leave anyone out of the squad and manage to win if you play together.”
