Man United must consider sacking Ruben Amorim to supercharge ‘unstoppable’ player wanted by PSG
Man United continue deliberating over the future of Ruben Amorim as his exit could beckon the return of an outcast.
Sources have told Football Insider that both Andoni Iraola and Oliver Glasner are on a shortlist to replace Amorim at Man United.
Yet, Bournemouth are confident they can secure a long-term deal for Iraola as the Red Devils are expected to continue their managerial hunt.
The Portuguese’s reign at Old Trafford has been divisive, with players quickly falling out of favour, such as Kobbie Mainoo, who could leave Man United in January if they find a replacement, Football Insider exclusively revealed.
One of those forgotten men axed into oblivion is Marcus Rashford, who could be lined up for a dramatic return to Manchester.
PSG are willing to offer £39m for Marcus Rashford
According to a report by E-noticies (23 September), PSG are willing to offer around €45million [£39m] to sign the Englishman at the end of the season.
United and Barcelona have a €30m [£26.2m] clause to buy the 27-year-old at the end of the campaign, but financial constraints may prevent a deal being finalised.
The French outfit on the other hand are quickly on their way to becoming one of Europe’s greatest financial superpowers off the back of their Champions League victory.
The Red Devils would certainly be intrigued by the proposition of getting a costly player off of their books for good via PSG’s offer.
Yet, £39m for an attacker who was dubbed ‘unstoppable’ by Joe Cole on TNT Sports seems far too low.
Rashford could be reborn if Man United sack Ruben Amorim
Sir Jim Ratcliffe could then be faced with an entirely different situation if he opts to sack Amorim before the end of Rashford’s loan.
The Portuguese manager continues to be in a perilous position at Old Trafford, and his personality and man management skills have already frozen out certain players.
The key reason why the Englishman left Manchester in the first place was because of the former Sporting CP boss’ dislike of the man.

With Amorim kicked out the door and a new manager in charge, Rashford could be enticed by an open sign that the club want him back.
The ex-Braga head coach has adamantly stuck by an inflexible system that does not utilise wingers and, by ridding the club of him, this would open another opportunity for the Blaugrana speedster to come back into the fray in a formation that plays to his strengths.
Moreover, Ratcliffe would no longer be forced to sell the Englishman, and the attacker’s uptick in form will also drive up his price.
This would be a win-win from both a performance and financial perspective, which the United chairman should be strongly considering instead of selling a prized asset for less than he is truly worth.
