Rashford open contract renewal talks
England striker Rashford, who was injured in Manchester United’s match against Arsenal, is expected to recover in time to participate in the Manchester derby early next month. This will be a huge boost for Ten Hag, as the Red Devils will definitely use the counter-attack to deal with a strong Manchester City, and La Shifu is best suited for this tactic.
It is reported that Manchester United believe that Rashford is very hopeful for Manchester City. Rashford has missed two Europa League games with a strained muscle. The 24-year-old Manchester United demon star also missed the chance to return to the England team and was excluded from the UEFA Nations League matches against Italy and Germany.
However, the Manchester United team doctor stressed that Rashford’s injury is not serious, so he will be able to play in the Manchester derby. When referring to Rashford’s injury, coach Ten Hag also said: “He has a muscle injury, I don’t think he will be out for too long, but the exact time is not clear. The injury is really not serious, we expect him to be very soon. You can go back to the team.”
In the previous games against the strong teams Liverpool and Arsenal this season, Rashford performed well, scoring 3 goals and 1 assist, reflecting the style of his giant nemesis. According to statistics, since his debut, Rashford has scored 4 goals against Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham respectively, 5 goals against Chelsea, and a total of 6 goals against Liverpool. His quick counter-attack style is elite.
If Rashford returns from injury, it will be a fatal blow to Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. Although he scored a record in the Europa League, in the away game against Manchester City, Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to return. To the bench, Ten Hag is more likely to use the trident of Anthony, Rashford and Sancho.
At the same time, it is reported that Manchester United has entered into contract renewal talks with Rashford, but interestingly, this news did not come from the British media, but was exposed by a Portuguese football reporter. Portugal transfer expert Pedro Almeida has claimed that Manchester United have opened talks with Rashford’s agent over a new deal.
Rashford’s agents are his two older brothers, who have been good at concocting transfer rumors for many years and boosting his younger brother’s salary increase. This time is no exception. Along with the rumors of Master La’s re-signing, in addition to the data of 3 goals and 2 assists in 6 games, there are also rumors of Paris Saint-Germain.
This week, Chelsea were added to the list, with Italian newspaper La Repubblica claiming that Chelsea new coach Graham Potter is interested in Rashford and hopes boss Todd Burley will start approaching him from January next year. . The same report also said that La Liga’s Atletico Madrid are also interested in Rashford.
Rashford’s contract with Manchester United expires at the end of this season, but the club has a one-year priority extension right to extend the contract period to 2024. Therefore, the Red Devils are not in a hurry to renew Rashford. The reason why his transfer rumors came from the Portuguese and Italian media respectively is mainly because the British media are currently focusing on the Queen’s funeral, and the transfer rumors have been greatly reduced.
Of course, if Rashford can score against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium and continue his good momentum, it will be a matter of time before Manchester United renew his contract and the salary increase may also increase. The English demon star himself also prefers to stay in the team, because once he leaves Old Trafford, he will lose his youth training background of “body protection”, and everything can only be said by his performance on the field.
