Marcus Rashford rejected approaches from three Saudi Arabian clubs this month, reports reveal.
Manchester United made Rashford available transfer this month after seeing him dropped by new head coach Ruben Amorim for four successive matchday teams in December, but his hefty wages of over £300,000-a-week are likely to limit the number of suitors in January.
The Saudi Pro League is a feasible destination and The Times The country’s three clubs have offered Rashford the chance for an annual salary of £35m, which equates to £675,000 a week, but United he pushed them forward.
Central to Rashford’s thought process is his desire to return to the England squad and so, if he is to leave United this month, he wants to join a competitive side that will raise his profile in the eyes of new England manager Thomas Tuchel.
For this reason, Rashford also rejected a move to Turkey.
Rashford is not believed to be pushing for an exit, despite admitting his the desire for a new challenge. He recently lashed out at the reports claiming to have hired a new agency to facilitate the transfer in January.
Instead, Rashford is said to be working hard behind the scenes to get back into Amorim’s mindset, and the staff are believed to have been impressed with his response to the situation.
Despite this, United will consider offers for Rashford as he faces it sell players before they can spend in the January transition period. Loan moves, which would take a large chunk of Rashford’s wages off the wage books, will also be considered.
