admin A bombshell report claims a Manchester United attacker’s sale worth a gigantic €100m/£86m is ‘being discussed’ in what could be the ‘end of an era’ at Old Trafford.
Man Utd’s record sale remains the €94m/£80m Real Madrid paid to sign Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009.
The reason that record has stood for over 15 years is two-fold. Firstly, £80m is a gigantic sum in its own right and secondly, Man Utd rarely lose their best players while their market value is at its maximum during their prime years.

Would Man Utd really sell Rashford, and would he go?
Man Utd are known to be willing to sell a wide forward or two before the August 30 transfer deadline.
However, the belief is the club would much rather sell Jadon Sancho and/or Antony before even considering shifting Rashford.

Furthermore, news of Rashford’s monster sale would also embolden selling clubs to demand a king’s ransom for any winger Man Utd were to target.
It also appears highly unlikely Rashford would be willing to leave his boyhood club for the SPL while in the prime of his career aged 26.
Despite the vast riches on offer in the middle east, the vast bulk of players who have made the leap are either over the hill or approaching the autumn of their careers.
Despite a poor showing last season, Rashford clearly still has plenty left to offer Man Utd both in the Premier League and in Europe.
