Manchester United could consider selling homegrown talent Marcus Rashford to raise funds for rebuilding their team under Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules, according to a discussion in the ESPN FC YouTube video. The speakers suggest that the net profit generated from selling Rashford would allow Manchester United to reinvest in their squad as they aim to compete among the top teams in the English Premier League.

With financial constraints and recent inconsistent performances, the prospect of selling Rashford is more open, despite his potential and recent good results, as compared to the significant transfer fee and wages for underperforming players like Jadon Sancho. Manchester United’s uncertainty in securing a spot in the top four of the Premier League, even though the odds are in their favor, further emphasizes the need for adding consistent performers to their squad.
