Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has set the record straight on suggestions that Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford could be headed to Al-Nassr.
Uncertain future
Rashford’s future remains uncertain after Barcelona decided against signing him permanently, despite a positive 2025/26 loan spell in which he registered 14 goals and 14 assists across all competitions.
He ruled out a Barcelona return earlier this week, signing off with a farewell post to the Catalan club on social media.
Rashford is set to be reintegrated into first-team training at United once his post-World Cup break concludes. While both the player and United are still hoping for a parting of ways, Michael Carrick is said to be open to working with Rashford.
The England international doesn’t have a squad number and it remains to be seen what role he’d play under Carrick.
Al-Nassr are said to have set their sights on Rashford, with speculation mounting over a potential swoop. However, according to Romano, there is little chance of Rashford heading to the Saudi Pro League.
Romano provides update
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano remarked, “In the last 24 hours from social media, many rumours on Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo’s team, champions of Saudi, trying to sign Marcus Rashford from Manchester United.”
“Guys, let me clarify one thing. According to my information, and I have been telling you this several times on this channel, but I want to be clear because the news keeps coming.”
“So, on Marcus Rashford – Rashford is not leaving Manchester United this summer in case of proposals who are coming from this kind of countries. With all respect to these leaks, it’s not me saying that, but Marcus Rashford eventually would only leave Man Utd if a top European club arrives and puts big money on the table for Man Utd because you still need to agree with Man United.”
He continued, “The release clause is no longer valid. So, the clause is not there, and now it’s on the clubs to agree with Man United, and then also you need to agree with Marcus Rashford.”
“But the idea in Marcus Rashford camp is top, top, top clubs in Europe or stay at Man United. This is the vision, at least for now.”
“Should anything change, I will let you know, but this is the message from the player’s side. So, there is still a concrete chance to see him staying at Man Utd unless a top, top European club arrives and try to sign Marcus Rashford. So, this is the situation, this is the story about Marcus.”
“So, at the moment, with Al-Nassr, with all due respect, I am not aware of anything concrete or advanced.”
United are next in action on Saturday when they face Atletico Madrid in Stockholm, Sweden.
