Marcus Rashford has collected £320,000 in weekly wages over the past year and a half. This now presents a big problem for Manchester United – and the clubs who want to rent the United player for the rest of the season. Now Monaco has also come to the negotiating table, they provide financial benefits.
It is heading towards renting out in January for the 27-year-old, who in December said he is “ready for new challenges”. AC Milan, Juventus, Barcelona, Napoli and Como are all in talks to sign Rashford for the rest of the season, The Telegraph reports that another club has come on the scene.
The English media claims Monaco have now signed up, with offers of Champions League games and the opportunity to meet Rashford’s wage demands through the principality’s tax benefits.
No one, except Saudi Arabian clubs, is willing to cover the entire wage bill that follows the hire of Rashford, which means Manchester United will have to foot a large chunk of the bill.
When Monaco can give Rashford a game at the top of the Ligue 1 table, give the 27-year-old the opportunity to play in the Champions League and showcase against England boss Thomas Tuchel, as well as take the entire wage bill, then this sounds like a scenario Ratcliffe and United give the thumbs up to.
