Utd star hailed as a ‘unique talent’ by Van Persie begins considering 2025 exit options with Bayern circling | OneFootball

You couldn’t really blame any Manchester United player for wanting out of the current setup, and the list will only grow the longer Erik ten Hag is at the helm.

Last night’s showing in Istanbul – as has been the case throughout the term – left a lot to be desired. A first-half Christian Eriksen goal against the run of play was eventually rendered in vain when Youssef En-Nesyri converted one of Fenerbahce’s numerous chances to bring the tie level, with both sides made to settle for a point come the full-time whistle.

Rashford was given the nod to start from the off, albeit on his lesser-favoured flank on the right-hand side, and played 73 minutes before being replaced by Antony – much to fans’ dismay.

It marked the Englishman’s 11th start in all competitions this campaign; the only time that he didn’t make the starting XI was for last month’s stalemate at Selhurst Park. He has notched four goals and three assists thus far, although his contributions perhaps aren’t too reflective of the pivotal impact he’s been having on the pitch.

Per StatmanDave, Rashford is averaging more open play chances (1.7) and more big chances (0.64) than he has at any other stage of his career. Against Brentford last weekend, he made more final-third passes (22) and created more chances (four) than any player on either side.

He is, however, said to be considering taking such exploits elsewhere. According to Spanish outlet Nacional, the 26-year-old ‘believes there is neither an ambitious nor stable project’ taking place at Old Trafford, a sentiment that is likely to be echoed by a large majority of the United faithful as of late.

Rashford is seeking a transfer ‘as soon as possible’ – despite committing his future to his boyhood club with a five-year contract extension in 2023.

During his career-best 30-goal campaign in 2023, club legend Robin van Persie hailed United’s No.10 as a ‘unique talent’, making it no surprise the likes of Bayern Munich are reportedly keeping tabs on his situation ahead of a potential pursuit.
