Manchester United transfer news
Even amid Manchester United's disastrous performance under Manchester United Reuben AmorimRashford's denial continues to steal headlines. The Carrington graduate has yet to impress Amorim enough to earn a chance, and recently admitted he is ready for a new challenge.
An exit seems inevitable at this point, with only one question left to answer Where Rashford will find himself In 2025.
While the question mark remains, Manchester United must turn their attention towards finding a replacement capable of becoming the star of the show under Amorim – and this is where one potential prospect could play a role.
According to The Times, Ineos are now on high alert to sign Dani Olmo for Manchester United If the Spaniard becomes a free agent before the January transfer window amid Barcelona's failure to gain La Liga approval to sign his summer signing in the second half of the season.

Barcelona's financial frustration could quickly become Manchester United's gain in their pursuit of the final January deal.
The Catalan giants are running out of time to win their case to sign one of their stars – and he certainly shouldn't have to wait if he can't feature for the rest of the season, especially given the interest that has already emerged to sign him.
The 'fantastic' Olmo would spice up Manchester United's attack
With Rashford denied, Alejandro Garnacho struggling to impress, and strike duo Rasmus Hoglund and Joshua Zirkzee not yet fully convincing, Olmo could emerge to solve Amorim's attacking problem.
Able to play on either flank and, more importantly for the new manager's system, in the No.10 position, the Spaniard could provide Manchester United with the ideal partner for Bruno Fernandes in both attacking midfield positions.

A player with an eye for goals that Zirkzee lacks, Olmo could be someone who complements Fernandes' ability, making him too good a prospect for INEOS to pass up if he becomes available as a free agent in the January transfer window.
Hansi Flick It will certainly be a disappointing number if Barcelona are unable to score Olmo, having told reporters earlier this season (as quoted by Pasyón Futbol): “He is a great footballer. He gives us a lot of balance. What he was doing with Pedri was amazing.”
Now, midway through his first season in charge, Flick may have to bid farewell to one of his stars as Manchester United look to take full advantage.
