Manchester United will hope to return to winning ways when they host Bournemouth on Sunday afternoon. 

The Red Devils were beaten 4-3 by Tottenham Hotspur in a thrilling Carabao Cup quarter-final on Thursday, and head coach Ruben Amorim will be desperate to see his side get back on track against the Cherries.

Amorim has had to deal with fierce speculation surrounding the future of Marcus Rashford this week, after the player revealed in an interview that he ‘feels ready for a new challenge’.

With that in mind, it appears that the forward has attracted interest from at least three clubs.

As per GiveMeSport, the Englishman is a target for Saudi Arabian clubs Al-Ahli, Al-Ittihad and Al-Qadsiah.

The report suggests that all three Pro League sides are targeting the England international ahead of the upcoming January transfer window.

Rashford, 27, is a product of United’s youth academy and has played more than 420 times for the club across all competitions, scoring 138 goals and providing 63 assists.

He remained a regular starter when Amorim first took charge last month, scoring three goals across the Portuguese’s first two league matches in charge.

The Englishman has fallen out of favour in recent weeks, though, failing to start any of United’s last three Premier League matches.

The report suggests that the club’s owners, INEOS, have put the forward up for sale ahead of the mid-season window.

It is also claimed that the Red Devils are demanding a fee of around £40 million for the player, who currently earns a staggering £375,000-per-week on a deal that runs until 2028.

Rashford’s versatility is said to appeal to Saudi sides, with the Englishman able to operate in a number of attacking positions, primarily on the left flank or as a striker.
