Manchester Evening News: Rashford Departure Unlikely, Manchester United Left Winger Signing Prospects Diminish
According to the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United's summer transfer focus has been on midfield, but left winger plans are evolving. The likelihood of signing an established left winger is decreasing due to two factors: Marcus Rashford's low probability of leaving his boyhood club, with both sides signaling reconciliation, and the presence of existing options Dorgu, Cunha, and Rashford. Additionally, the club signed 18-year-old Thompson from Tottenham for up to £8 million, with a clear pathway to the first team. Previous targets like Semenyo (joined Manchester City), Diomande (prefers PSG), and Rogers (joined Chelsea) were either too expensive or unavailable. Roma has had bids for a West Ham winger rejected, but United is not competing. Thompson is expected to train with the first team and compete for a spot next season.
