Everton 'definitely' holding Marcus Rashford 'talks' as January move on the cards

Former Everton CEO Keith Wyness claims the club is in talks to sign Manchester United forward Rashford in January.

According to former Everton chief executive Keith Wyness, the club's hierarchy is actively discussing a potential move for Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford ahead of the January transfer window. Wyness, who served as Everton's CEO between 2004 and 2009, told Football Insider that the link is "definitely being talked about and quite strongly" and believes it could be an interesting solution for both parties.

Rashford, 27, has been back in the fold at United this season after loan spells at Aston Villa and Barcelona, though he is yet to register a goal contribution. His contract situation—he is out of contract in summer 2028—has cast doubt on his long-term future at Old Trafford. Wyness highlighted that Rashford performed well during his loan moves and suggested that playing close to Manchester could benefit him, drawing a parallel to Jack Grealish's move to Everton.

Everton manager David Moyes is keen to add firepower to his squad after failing to sign a striker in the summer. Thierno Barry is currently the club's only senior frontman, and Rashford's versatility across the frontline could provide the quality the Toffees need for the second half of the season.
