“I know Marcus Rashford from academy and I know what exactly is wrong with him. I noticed it when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was here and I know what he did to him. This is what he usually does and the fans have to know about this. Ole was a good coach and we could have won the Premier League together if not for what he did”-SHOCKING NEWS as Scoot McTominay tells the fans the truth about Marcus Rashford and why Ole Gunnar Solskjaer didn’t succeed at the club.

Manchester United may need to heavily subsidize Marcus Rashford’s wages to facilitate a potential move to Italy. Napoli are reportedly open to including Victor Osimhen in a swap deal to bring Rashford to Serie A, a move that could benefit both clubs.

Meanwhile, Juventus, Napoli’s league rivals, have shown interest in signing Rashford’s teammate, Joshua Zirkzee, on loan. Rashford, who earns £300,000 per week following his 2023 contract extension, has struggled to maintain the form that saw him score 30 goals in a season. His off-field issues and on-field performances have drawn criticism, and since expressing a desire for a “new challenge” in December, he hasn’t featured for Ruben Amorim’s side.

Rashford was benched against Newcastle but wasn’t used, leaving his future at the club uncertain. Similarly, Osimhen, who expressed a desire to leave Napoli last summer, found himself frozen out by Antonio Conte before being loaned to Galatasaray, where he has thrived, scoring 12 goals and providing five assists in 15 appearances.

Swap Deal Complications

Discussing the potential swap deal, talkSPORT’s Sam Matterface noted, “Swap deals are notoriously difficult. Manchester United might be reluctant to cover a significant portion of Rashford’s wages but will likely need to if they want to move him.” Matterface also highlighted a shift in Rashford’s stance, suggesting he might be reconsidering a departure due to a lack of strong interest from other clubs.

Rashford’s Future Prospects

While Rashford has rejected offers from the Saudi Pro League, he appears open to a move to Spain to rejuvenate his international career. His social media statements have dismissed rumors of meeting with agencies to facilitate a transfer, emphasizing that many stories are unfounded.

Zirkzee’s Struggles and Juventus Interest

Zirkzee has faced heavy criticism since his £34 million move to United. His substitution in the first half against Newcastle led to boos and sarcastic cheers from fans, and reports suggest he is eager to leave after falling out with Amorim. Juventus are now considering a loan move for the struggling forward.

Conte’s Track Record with Former United Players

Antonio Conte has a history of reviving the careers of ex-United players, including Alexis Sanchez, Ashley Young, Matteo Darmian, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Currently, Romelu Lukaku and Scott McTominay are flourishing under his management at Napoli, which sits second in Serie A.

As the transfer window approaches its conclusion, the futures of Rashford, Osimhen, and Zirkzee remain uncertain, with potential moves hinging on late developments.
