For Marcus Rashford, January could prove a month that defines the rest of his career.
The Manchester United winger has openly discussed his desire for a "new challenge" having spent his life at Old Trafford and his wish appears increasingly likely to be granted before the end of the winter window. A loan move looks more likely than a permanent sale as things stand.
Understandably, the 27-year-old has an extensive list of suitors. While his standards have dropped over the past 18 months, Rashford produced a 30-goal season in 2022/23, having bagged over 20 in two of the three seasons prior to that.
Prospective buyers are banking on that consistency and devastating quality being rediscovered away from the harsh glare of Manchester.
With that in mind, here are Rashford's most likely destinations - ranked, of course.
