The futures of Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford have taken an intriguing twist in the latest daily transfer updates concerning the Manchester United players.
Marcus Rashford has returned from his loan at Aston Villa and is currently training on his own at the Carrington complex. The 27-year-old’s contract with Villa Park ended on June 30, and he has committed to pre-season training with United this summer.
Despite this, Rashford no longer aligns with Ruben Amorim’s plans at Old Trafford, leading to widespread speculation about his departure from the Premier League club this summer.
Jadon Sancho, similar to Rashford, had a loan spell last season and is now seeking a new club. Here are the major transfer developments that United fans should be aware of, especially regarding Rashford and Sancho.
Jadon Sancho is nearing an exit from Old Trafford as Juventus expresses strong interest
Sancho’s potential move to Chelsea fell through, resulting in the club sending him back to United after his loan term. However, Juventus has emerged as a formidable contender for Sancho, and reports indicate a ‘basic agreement’ with the player for around £17.2 million.
The Italian outlet La Stampa suggests that Sancho is currently negotiating his severance from United ahead of his expected transfer. His deal with Manchester United is set to expire in 2026, and he may earn approximately £5.1 million annually should he sign with Juventus.
Marcus Rashford’s potential exit from Man Utd could be back on the table due to interest from Barcelona
Reports have linked Barcelona to Rashford, with the player expressing his wish to join the La Liga club. Previously, United had provided Aston Villa with a £40 million option to sign Rashford during his loan, though it was not utilized.
According to journalist Florian Plettenberg on X (formerly Twitter), Barcelona is making Rashford a priority this summer and is prepared to pursue him actively. The player’s contract with United will last until 2028, and the club is maintaining a valuation of around £40 million for him.
Alvaro Carreras’ transfer from Benfica to Real Madrid is stalled due to Manchester United
Fabrizio Romano confirmed via X that a “verbal agreement” is in place for Alvaro Carreras’ move to Real Madrid, who are aiming to pay the £43 million release clause in installments. However, the deal is currently on hold as Manchester United holds a buyback clause in his contract.
Thus far, United has not indicated plans to activate the £25 million clause, which would prevent Carreras from heading to the Spanish capital. If the club chooses not to intervene, the move is expected to proceed smoothly.
