REVEALED: Next Manchester United No.10 Disclosed as Marcus Rashford Nears Summer Exit
Manchester United Could Sell Marcus Rashford This Summer – Who Will Take the Iconic No.10 Shirt?
Marcus Rashford’s time at Manchester United may be coming to an end, and if he leaves, one of the club’s most famous shirt numbers will be up for grabs. The 27-year-old forward, who struggled for regular game time under manager Rúben Amorim, was sent on loan to Aston Villa in January.
Despite limited starts for Villa, Rashford has impressed with his performances, providing four assists— all for fellow loanee Marco Asensio. His recent form has also caught the attention of England’s new head coach, Thomas Tuchel, earning him a call-up to the national team for the first time since March 2024.
Despite his recent success at Villa, Rashford is reportedly not part of Amorim’s plans for the upcoming campaign. The Daily Star claims that Manchester United plans to sell the winger on a permanent basis this summer. Rashford is reportedly available for Villa to buy at about £40 million.
With United expected to strengthen their attack in the transfer window, signing a new striker and a creative playmaker are said to be Amorim’s main priorities. That means Rashford’s departure could be imminent.
Rashford has worn the No.10 shirt since 2018, a number that has been worn by club legends like Wayne Rooney, Zlatan Ibrahimović, and David Beckham. If he leaves, a new player will inherit the famous number.
Amad Diallo may be the next contender for the No. 10 jersey, according to Manchester Evening News, even though United is expected to make fresh signings. At just 22 years old, the youthful Ivorian has proved his potential for United this season and has a lot of room to grow.
If Rashford does leave, it will mark the end of an era at Old Trafford. The question now is whether United will promote from within or hand the No.10 shirt to a new signing. As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Amorim’s squad decisions.
