Fabrizio Romano has said that Marcus Rashford is not keen on leaving Manchester United for the Saudi Pro League in order to link up again with former Old Trafford teammate Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr.

Rashford is currently on a break after impressing for England at the 2026 World Cup.

Once his holiday ends, the winger is expected to report back for pre-season with Manchester United, who will be involved in the Champions League and will also be targeting at least a serious Premier League title challenge next season.

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick is prepared to bring Rashford back into the first-team setup.

Ideally, however, Manchester United co-owners INEOS would prefer to sell Rashford before the summer transfer window shuts.

The England international winger is also open to ending his association with Manchester United permanently.

According to transfer expert Romano, Rashford would leave Manchester United only for an elite club in Europe.

The Italian journalist has played down suggestions that the Manchester United winger is ready to move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr and reunite with his former Red Devils colleague Ronaldo.

Romano said: “In the last 24 hours from social media, many rumours on Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo’s team, champions of Saudi, trying to sign Marcus Rashford from Manchester United.

“Guys, let me clarify one thing.

“According to my information, and I have been telling you this several times on this channel, but I want to be clear because the news keeps coming.

“So, on Marcus Rashford – Rashford is not leaving Manchester United this summer in case of proposals who are coming from this kind of countries.

“With all respect to these leaks, it’s not me saying that, but Marcus Rashford eventually would only leave Man Utd if a top European club arrives and puts big money on the table for Man Utd because you still need to agree with Man Utd.

“The release clause is no longer valid.

“So, the clause is not there, and now it’s on the clubs to agree with Man Utd, and then also you need to agree with Marcus Rashford.

“But the idea in Marcus Rashford camp is top, top, top clubs in Europe or stay at Man Utd.

“This is the vision, at least for now.

“Should anything change, I will let you know, but this is the message from the player’s side.

“So, there is still a concrete chance to see him staying at Man Utd unless a top, top European club arrives and try to sign Marcus Rashford.

“So, this is the situation, this is the story about Marcus.

“So, at the moment, with Al-Nassr, with all due respect, I am not aware of anything concrete or advanced.”
