According to a recent report by the Sun, Real Madrid are lining up a £50m offer to secure the services of Marcus Rashford from Manchester United. It is believed that the La Liga heavyweights witnessed the English forward put on an impressive showing for his nation in a hard-fought 2-1 win against Croatia at Wembley Stadium last weekend. Moreover, the new Madrid boss Santiago Solari is a big admirer of the 21-year-old’s talents and is ready to table a sizable bid to convince United into selling their prized asset.
The Galacticos are still looking for a worthy replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Juventus last summer, and has identified Rashford as an ideal option to fill the Portuguese’s void at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. The Manchester-born prospect has been a sporadic feature for Jose Mourinho’s team as he has lacked consistency in front of goal.
Rashford’s Struggles This Season
He was left frustrated with the lack of game time at Old Trafford during the early stages of this campaign. However, the Portuguese boss has given him more first-team chances in recent weeks, yet the striker has still not been able to score goals for United as regularly as he does for the England national team.
Rashford has featured in 13 matches for the Red Devils this season, scoring two goals while creating one assist in all competitions. He has impressed in patches but has often lacked the cutting edge inside the opposition box, much to the frustration of the Man United supporters.
Will Rashford Be A Good Fit For Los Blancos?
Maybe it might be time for him to move on in search of greener pastures and there are only a few places better than the Spanish capital in world football. The potential acquisition of Rashford will undoubtedly bolster Solari’s attacking options and would help them challenge for major trophies in the coming years as the club looks to reestablish themselves as a top contender in the UEFA Champions League.
The English forward’s pace will be a big asset for Madrid who currently lacks some energy and dynamism in the attacking third. It will also keep the likes of Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale on their toes as a bad performance could see them get replaced in Solari’s first-team. Hence, Los Blancos should do everything in their power to seal a move for the Man United talent in the near future.
