Manchester United would reportedly welcome offers for Marcus Rashford in the January transfer window.

The 27-year-old has been linked with a move away from his boyhood club in the last 12 months and Paris Saint-Germain were reported to be interested in the forward. At the time, former United manager Erik ten Hag dismissed the rumours but fresh claims state he is not deemed as 'unsellable.'

Sky Sports Germany report the club would sell Rashford in the summer 'at the latest' and would 'already be open' to receiving offers in the New Year. Although United have acknowledged his development under new boss Ruben Amorim, it's said he's 'not unsellable.'

Financial Fair Play is believed to be the reason why a potential sale is being discussed at Old Trafford. A move would alleviate Rashford's reported £325,000 salary and in turn, give the club more room to complete deals in the transfer market.

Meanwhile, the Times add that very few clubs have the resources to match his current salary, though Saudi Arabia and PSG are described as options. As a home grown player, any money brought in would represent pure profit under Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) - making him more vulnerable.

United recorded £312.9million losses before tax over the past three seasons and as a result, are under huge pressure to reduce costs. Selling Rashford would help the club to reinvest with Viktor Gyokeres heavily linked with a move.

Rashford has previously come under fire with supporters after he was pictured drinking on a night out in Belfast in January. The following month, the England international wrote in the Players Tribune in February: "Listen, I’m not a perfect person. When I make a mistake, I’ll be the first one to put my hand up and say I need to do better.

"But if you ever question my commitment to Man United, that’s when I have to speak up. It’s like somebody questioning my entire identity and everything I stand for. I grew up here.

"I have played for this club since I was a boy. My family turned down life-changing money when I was a kid so I could wear this badge."
