The bosses at Old Trafford are now using Marcus Rashford, who has been at Manchester United all his life, active as a pawn to secure players this winter without breaking Uefa and the Premier League’s financial rules. Deficits for many years, high wages and miserable deals in the transfer market have led to deficits of over £500 million in the last ten years.

Now that there will be no Champions League next season, there is very little room for manoeuvre for next year.

Sky Sports come with a not particularly surprising news, Manchester United want to sign Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, who is on loan at Galatasaray. The English giants have even reportedly contacted the star striker’s agent regarding a potential deal.

Marcus Rashford, who has been left out of Manchester United’s squad for the last three games, is definitely for sale. The hope is to sell him overpriced to Saudi Arabia or Paris Saint-Germain and avoid a “normal” price transfer to a Premier League competitor. Newcastle and West Ham are both said to be in the running.

Alternatively, find a club that needs their top scorer this season and wants to make a switch. Transfer journalist Graeme Bailey states that Napoli admire Marcus Rashford. Therefore, they are now prepared to release Victor Osimhen to Manchester United – to snatch Marcus Rashford. Napoli and Victor Osimhen have a miserable relationship after a move to Chelsea went down the drain and they “forgot” to sign him up for Serie A.

Victor Osimhen is surprisingly well suited to the Turkish league leader, there are also reports that Galatasaray want to buy when the loan deal expires in the summer, in any case a return to Napoli is simply impossible.

Manchester United are in 13th place in the Premier League. Napoli are second in Serie A.
