Marcus Rashford will likely have to look for a way out of Manchester United in the ongoing transfer window.

The England international has spent the last 18 months away from Old Trafford, recently enjoying a season-long loan spell with Barcelona, who aren't expected to trigger the buy option in the deal.

Despite the 28-year-old finding his feet at Camp Nou, it doesn't look like the Red Devils have any intentions of reintegrating him into the squad ahead of next season.

It looks like there's no turning back for Man United on their decision to sell Rashford, as they consider a move for West Ham United's Crysencio Summerville in the summer.

As things stand, the Englishman will return to Old Trafford after the 2026 World Cup with the Three Lions, but Michael Carrick seems to have no intention of giving him a lifeline.

It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the winger now that Barcelona have signed Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United for a significant fee.

Manchester United want two West Ham players

Apart from Summerville, Man United also have Mateus Fernandes on their radar as they look to exploit West Ham's relegation.

The Red Devils are considering a double raid on the Hammers amid their interest in the Portuguese youngster and the Netherlands international, who recently scored for Ronald Koeman's team in the 2-2 draw with Japan at the World Cup.

According to the Independent on 17 June, Summerville, 24, is on Man United's shortlist to strengthen their left-wing this summer.

Interest in Fernandes, 21, from Old Trafford is said to be at an early stage as Carrick looks to rebuild his engine room for the 2026-27 campaign.

Marcus Rashford exit destination would shock everyone

Sources told Football Insider in May that Rashford could join Real Madrid and reunite with Jose Mourinho at the Spanish capital.

Los Blancos have pulled off some quick deals in recent days, officially announcing the signing of Marc Cucurella from Chelsea and Bernardo Silva as a free agent after his Manchester City exit.

Mourinho is wasting no time trying to rebuild Madrid and Rashford moving to the Bernabeu after a season with Barcelona would certainly be a big surprise, considering the rivalry between the two teams.
