Manchester United’s final matches of the campaign could have massive implications beyond the race for European football.
Ruben Amorim is already being backed ahead of a crucial summer rebuild, with the Red Devils expected to be active in the transfer market once again.
Big-name exits are on the table as Manchester United aim to clear space on the wage bill and rejuvenate their underperforming squad.
Several loanees are also unlikely to return to the fold next season, with the club instead looking to cash in on unsettled talent and invest in players more suited to Amorim’s system.
And now, plans are being quietly laid for a major summer transfer — with one current outcast’s future potentially holding the key.
Marcus Rashford is currently on loan at Aston Villa, and the Midlands club hold an option to sign him permanently for £40million.
But despite that clause, Manchester United could reportedly receive a higher fee if the England international is sold elsewhere, and interest is already building from clubs in Spain.

With Marcus Rashford earning around £365,000 per week and still having three years left on his contract after this season, selling him would not only generate a large transfer fee but also save United approximately £56million in wages.
That would give the Red Devils nearly £100million to reinvest — and one name high on their list is Matheus Cunha.
The Wolves star is believed to earn around £90,000 a week, but if United can offer him a significant pay rise on a five-year deal, Rashford’s departure could effectively fund most of Cunha’s transfer.
Cunha has impressed this season with his dynamic displays in the Premier League, and his profile aligns with the kind of forward Amorim wants to lead United’s line.
The relationship breakdown between Rashford and Amorim, along with key figures at boardroom level, makes it highly unlikely the 27-year-old will ever play for Manchester United again, as per Jamie Jackson.
As a result, his exit this summer seems inevitable — and it could prove crucial in unlocking United’s next marquee signing.
