Marcus Rashford set for shock swap as two deals confirmed | All Football

The January transfer window is a valuable opportunity for Manchester United and Ruben Amorim.

The Red Devils have endured a terrible first half of the season and have dropped just seven points after relegation from the region. It’s not about to get any easier either, with a clash with fierce rivals Liverpool coming up on Sunday.

One solution for Amorim and United could be a few additions. Some bright positions in the side need more quality but it depends on whether the Red Devils can get them through the door.

Before then though, some sales may take place. Take a look at all the latest Manchester United transfer news and rumors below:

One man who could leave Old Trafford over the next few weeks is striker Marcus Rashford. Serie A club Napoli are said to be among his admirers and would be prepared to offer a stunning loan deal to try and secure his signature.

According to talkSPORT, they would be prepared to offer Victor Osimhen – who is currently in the midst of a loan spell with Galatasaray – to United as a sweetener. The Nigerian has found some excellent form in Turkey having scored 14 goals in just 19 appearances.

Meanwhile, Rashford returned to the United squad for the first time against Newcastle after previously being ruled out for four Premier League games. He has three and a half years left on his contract at Old Trafford.

Although Rashford could possibly leave, Ruben Amorim has announced that two players are set to stay for an extended period at Old Trafford. The Portuguese coach has confirmed that United will activate an option to extend Harry Maguire’s contract for another year, while Amad signs a new contract.

Speaking at his pre-Liverpool press conference, Amorim said: “Amad is close, Harry Maguire we’re going to trigger our option.

“I spoke to him (Harry) this morning and I told him that he has to improve on the pitch, we really need him. Also, he has to improve as a leader. We all know the situation he had here but we really need him in this moment, so we are going to trigger, happily, the option for him. “

Goalkeeper Altay Bayindir could potentially follow Rashford out the door. The agent of the Turkish star has confirmed that he has enough interest in his services.

Speaking to Sports Digitale via MEN, Sefa Seyrek said: “Altay had offers from many European and Premier League clubs at the start of the season. At the moment there are clubs that are interested, but Altay wants to stay and play at Manchester United. The club definitely does not want to lose Altay.”

Bayindir, 26, has made just four appearances for United since signing from Fenerbahce in the summer of 2023. He has a contract until 2027.
