Marcus Rashford’s Possible Departure from Manchester United
Manchester United might sell Marcus Rashford to shake things up with their new coach, Ruben Amorim. The Guardian says Amorim thinks Rashford leaving is important to change the team culture. Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho didn’t play in the recent derby against Manchester City. But Garnacho may still have a future with the team.
The Guardian also mentions Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants to get rid of any “passengers” on the squad. He’s OK with taking a loss on Rashford if it means moving him. United might let him go for less money in January. But with Rashford earning £365,000 a week, only a few clubs can afford him.

Team News Leak Investigation at Manchester United
Manchester United is looking into a leak about their team lineup before the match against Manchester City. The Sun reported that the starting players were announced a day early, causing some concerns in the club. Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho were questioned. Garnacho’s brother, Roberto, was blamed online for the leak.
Roberto denied being the source last week, saying he’s not the mole. After United’s victory, Amorim was not happy about the leak, worrying about keeping things private within the team.
Mohamed Salah Nears Liverpool Contract Renewal
Mohamed Salah of Liverpool is close to signing a new contract, according to Marca. His current deal ends in the summer, and he could talk to other clubs in January. But news suggests he might finalize a new agreement before the year ends.
At first, Salah thought Liverpool didn’t want to renew his contract, so he considered leaving. However, talks have moved forward, and the club is working to keep him at Anfield.
Liverpool is also trying to renew contracts for Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold. They want to extend at least two of the three players’ deals and are offering better terms.
Marca says, “Liverpool has gone from feeling very worried to being very hopeful. Salah’s new contract could soon be official, keeping him for at least another season.”
