Agbonlahor: Surprised No Club Has Made Offer for Rashford, High Wages Likely a Factor
Former Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor expressed surprise on talkSPORT that no club has made an offer for Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford this summer, calling the situation 'very strange.' Rashford, 28, was loaned to Barcelona last season but the Catalan club did not exercise their buy option; Aston Villa also declined to sign him permanently after a previous loan. Agbonlahor believes Rashford's high weekly wage of £325,000, with two years remaining on his contract, is a major deterrent for potential suitors. He noted that Rashford's mental state has improved away from Manchester, citing extra training at Inter Miami before the World Cup and a lack of negative news during his Barcelona stint. Agbonlahor argued that Rashford no longer fits Manchester United's system, has lost his shirt number to Cunha, and that the relationship between player and club is effectively over. He expects a resolution before the transfer window closes at the end of August, possibly involving a move to another foreign club.
