Manchester United are reportedly exploring an intriguing swap deal involving Marcus Rashford and Bayern Munich midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic.
Rashford’s Uncertain Future
Rashford, currently on loan at Aston Villa, has a uncertain future at Manchester United. With Villa having financial problems, a permanent switch is far from certain.
However, it’s difficult to envision Rashford having a future at Old Trafford under current head coach Ruben Amorim.
Pavlovic: A Coveted Target
Pavlovic, 20, has been a regular for Bayern Munich this season, making 20 appearances in all competitions.

The talented midfielder has a contract at Allianz Arena until June 2029, and Manchester United would allegedly need to offer cash plus Rashford to stand a chance of signing him.
Bayern’s Interest in Rashford
Rashford’s performance at Villa in the second half of the season will be crucial in determining Bayern’s interest.
A strong few months would increase the interest in him, making this a potentially attractive deal for Bayern.
However, if Rashford struggles to have an impact, it’s unlikely that he’ll earn himself a big-money move this summer.
Manchester United’s Midfield Conundrum
With Christian Eriksen’s contract not being extended and Casemiro surplus to requirements, Manchester United are in the market for a central midfielder.
Pavlovic’s arrival would be a significant boost to their midfield options.
