Al-Ahli could make a move for Rashford at the end of the transfer window, and if Rashford does end up at Al-Ahli, he’ll be surrounded by a few familiar faces. Indeed, Al-Ahli have a few players already in their squad who have played Premier League football.

Ruben Amorim appears to have offered a lifeline to Manchester United outcast Marcus Rashford ahead of the transfer deadline. ‘The situation is the same for every player,’ Amorim said ahead of United’s Europa League clash against Steaua Bucuresti on Thursday evening.
