Coming from Fabrizio Romano, ” since my arrival i have watched every game not missing one and I can see that the team needs a serious reconstruction especially from Rashford I don’t see his drive to play football like his been forced and and my team won’t tolerate any form of mediocrity as we plan to restore success in United”. Manchester United’s new co-owner is reportedly looking to replace Marcus Rashford with a younger option in the form of serie A star. the club is looking to make a big-money investment in a new striker, and this youngstar is seen as a perfect replacement. This is not looking good for Rashford. Sir Jim Ratcliffe seem to be strict with establishing discipline in man utd🙀🙀🙀
Manchester United’s new co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, is set to initiate substantial changes at Old Trafford, potentially leading to the exits of Erik ten Hag and Marcus Rashford.
With United striving to revamp their culture and reclaim their status at the top of the Premier League after over a decade of underperformance, Ratcliffe and the new board members are preparing to implement decisive measures to elevate the club’s stature.
Ratcliffe and the updated board will determine the futures of Ten Hag and Rashford by summer, deciding whether to keep either, both, or neither.
Rashford, an England international, has struggled this season, scoring only five goals in 31 appearances for Ten Hag’s struggling team—a significant drop from his 30-goal tally last season. Rashford’s future at Old Trafford is in doubt, reportedly due to dissatisfaction with Ten Hag, which has strained their relationship.
Ten Hag has disciplined Rashford twice this season, once following Rashford’s birthday celebration in Manchester city center after a derby loss to Manchester City, and again for a trip to Belfast last month. The manager was particularly frustrated with the Belfast incident due to misinformation about its timing, which led Rashford to call in sick for training just before an FA Cup match.
Although Ten Hag publicly stated that the issue with Rashford is resolved, there is growing belief within the club’s leadership that one or both may need to leave this summer.
Rashford has drawn interest from Paris Saint-Germain as a potential replacement for Kylian Mbappe, making him a valuable asset for United in terms of meeting Premier League financial regulations and raising funds for squad improvements.
However, the club acknowledges Rashford’s value, especially when he is in top form, as he remains a sought-after player for rivals like Manchester City.
Conversely, Ten Hag’s future at United is increasingly uncertain. Despite his stance that he does not need public support from Ratcliffe, Ten Hag’s position is under scrutiny, with his performance for the remainder of the season likely determining his fate. Even achieving Champions League qualification might not be enough to secure his role, as Ratcliffe and his team are reportedly considering appointing their own manager as part of a larger overhaul of the club’s sporting operations.
Ratcliffe, along with Sir Dave Brailsford and incoming CEO Omar Berrada, aims to make it clear that mediocrity will no longer be tolerated at United, potentially signaling the departures of both the manager and a key player as initial steps in their transformative journey.
