Manchester United do not expect any suitable offers to arrive for Marcus Rashford this summer, according to a report.

Manchester United are reportedly not expecting any suitable offers to arrive for Marcus Rashford during this summer's transfer window.

The Red Devils are believed to be open to selling the England international in the upcoming market due to his struggles during the 2023-24 campaign, and the fact that his departure would represent pure profit under the Premier League's rules surrounding profit and sustainability.

However, according to ESPN, Man United will not sanction a cut-price exit, with only offers of around £70m being considered by the club.

The report claims that the 20-time English champions are not expecting their asking price to be met, so the academy product is set to remain at Old Trafford.

Man United are allegedly not actively looking to sell Rashford despite his struggles, and the player is believed to have told the club that he wants to stay and reignite his career.

Marcus Rashford 'set to stay at Old Trafford'

Rashford signed a new long-term deal at Man United after scoring 30 goals and registering 10 assists in all competitions during the 2022-23 campaign.

However, the forward has only managed eight goals and five assists in 40 appearances this season, and he has often cut a frustrated figure for the club.

Paris Saint-Germain are believed to have made an attempt to sign Rashford in the summer of 2022, but Man United made it clear that he would not be allowed to leave.

The attacker starred in Erik ten Hag's first season at the helm, but it has been a struggle this term, and there have also been off-the-field problems in 2023-24.

A summer exit for Marcus Rashford 'seen as unlikely'

Rashford caused controversy earlier this year when he visited a nightclub in Dublin on two separate evenings and then called in sick for training before his side's FA Cup contest with Newport County.

There have been suggestions that his relationship with Ten Hag has become strained, although the Dutchman has continued to back the forward amid his struggles.

Rashford has missed Man United's next two league games against Sheffield United and Burnley due to the problem which he suffered against Coventry City in the FA Cup last month.

However, the Englishman is set to return to the squad against Crystal Palace on Monday evening, when he will be bidding to add to the seven Premier League goals that he has managed this season.
