Man United star Marcus Rashford has REJECTED three huge offers from Saudi Arabia – worth £35m-a-year – with the club willing to let him leave in January
Marcus Rashford has rejected three offers from Saudi Arabia worth up to £35million a year as his future at Manchester United hangs in the balance.
United are willing to let Rashford leave in the January transfer window after he was ousted by new head coach Ruben Amorim.
However, the 27-year-old will only join a competitive club and league that would give him a chance to regain his place in the England squad.
It is understood he has rejected three mega-money offers from the Saudi Pro League, which would have eclipsed his £315,000-a-week contract at United, and has also ruled out any move to Turkey.
Rashford won the last of his 60 caps in a friendly against Brazil in March but was left out of the squad for the 2024 Euros and is desperate to find his place under new England boss Thomas Tuchel.
Despite saying last month that he is ‘ready for a new challenge and the next steps’ in his career, Rashford is open to staying at United, where he is under contract until June 2028.

Sources say he is awaiting a recall from Amorim and will give 100 percent to the team, but a 20-year association with his boyhood club could now come to an end.
United will listen to offers for Rashford this month as they look to meet profit and sustainability rules, and are also said to be considering a loan move if his new club pays a fee and covers the majority of his wages.
But any move would have to be in the player’s favor before his brothers and sole representatives, Dwaine Maynard and Dane Rashford, entered into negotiations.
Rashford has not played in the past five games after being left out of the squad for the Manchester derby last month. He was named on the bench at Newcastle on Monday evening after a four-match absence, but was an unused substitute in United’s 2-0 defeat.
United’s players are said to be surprised by Rashford’s exclusion as he remains the club’s joint top scorer in the Premier League with four goals.
He scored seven times against Liverpool – more than any other Premier League club – but it remains to be seen whether Amorim recalls him for Sunday’s trip to Anfield.
