Manchester United star Marcus Rashford has rejected three mega-money offers from Saudi Arabia, it has been claimed.
England international Rashford has been tipped to leave Old Trafford after a tough time under Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim this term. His next destination remains unclear, though.
“For me, personally, I think I’m ready for a new challenge and the next steps,” Rashford said shortly before Christmas. “When I leave it’s going to be ‘no hard feelings’. You’re not going to have any negative comments from me about Manchester United. That’s me as a person.
“If I know that a situation is already bad I’m not going to make it worse. I’e seen how other players have left in the past and I don’t want to be that person. When I leave I’ll make a statement and it will be from me.”
According to The Mail, offers worth up to £35million per year have been put on the table. No deal has materialised, though, with Rashford believed to only want to move to a “competitive” league.
The sums being touted would dwarf what the 27-year-old currently earns at Old Trafford. However, he is reportedly not ready to entertain offers from either Saudi Arabia or Turkey.
It has been suggested that Rashford is thinking about his England future when it comes to deciding his next steps. He was left out of the squad for Euro 2024, and hasn’t featured for the Three Lions since March.

Rashford scored the first goal of the Ruben Amorim era, striking inside two minutes in a 1-1 draw at Ipswich. More recently, though, he hasn’t been part of the head coach’s plans.
The forward was left out of multiple matchday squads by the former Sporting boss. He returned to the bench for United’s most recent game, against Newcastle, but didn’t make it onto the field in the 2-0 loss/
“I think about the team,” Amorim said after goals from Alexander Isak and Joelinton gave Eddie Howe’s team victory. “You think a lot about Marcus. I think about the team. When I’m there I’m not making a point. I just want to win the game.
“And you can feel it – I’m talking about the idea and the fight for relegation. Do I want to make a point during a game? No, I just want to win the game.”
