Al Ahli, Al Ittihad and Al Qadsiah are all said to hold an interest in the England international.<\/p>\n

While Al Ittihad have been interested in the past and Al Qadsiah are monitoring his situation, Al Ahli currently hold the most concrete interest.<\/p>\n

However, they would need to offload or de-register a foreign player first in order to comply with Saudi Pro League registration rules.<\/p>\n

But talkSPORT also understands that Al Ahli are considering parting ways with club captain Roberto Firmino<\/a>, who is wanted by Turkish club Fenerbahce as well as Saudi club Al Tauwoun.<\/p>\n

Al Nassr, who have Man United legend Cristiano Ronaldo in their ranks, have previously told the record Premier League champions that they were more interested in other targets.<\/p>\n

While three Saudi Pro League sides are interested, the trio won’t do battle for his signature.<\/p>\n

That is due to Saudi Pro League sporting director Michael Emenalo taking the lead and effectively allocating his registration to one of the clubs.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen if Rashford would be open to a move to Saudi Arabia<\/span> in 2025, with Man United yet to receive any meaningful approaches.<\/p>\n

The academy graduate signalled his intention to leave the club earlier this week in an interview with Henry Winter.<\/a><\/p>\n

Rashford said: \u201cFor me, personally, I think I’m ready for a new challenge and the next steps.<\/p>\n

“When I leave it’s going to be \u2018no hard feelings\u2019. You\u2019re not going to have any negative comments from me about\u00a0Manchester United<\/a>. That\u2019s me as a person.<\/p>\n

“If I know that a situation is already bad I’m not going to make it worse. I’ve seen how other players have left in the past and I don’t want to be that person.<\/p>\n

“When I leave I’ll make a statement and it will be from me. 100 per cent.”<\/p>\n

Rashford added: \u201cI\u2019m halfway through my career. I don\u2019t expect my peak to be now.<\/p>\n

“I’ve had nine years so far in the Premier League and that\u2019s taught me a lot, that\u2019s helped me grow as a player and as a person.<\/p>\n

“So I don’t have any regrets from the last nine years.<\/p>\n

“I won\u2019t have any regrets going forward because I take things day by day and sometimes bad things happen, sometimes good things happen. I just try and keep a fine balance.”<\/p>\n

Rashford has been on Man United’s books for 20 years having been first scouted by them aged seven.<\/p>\n

He broke into the first-team as an 18-year-old in 2016, scoring twice on his debut as well as a brace on his Premier League debut, a 3-2 win over Arsenal. <\/p>\n

Rashford achieved FA Cup glory with Man United in the 2015\/16 season and last term. He also boasts a Europa League and League Cup winners’ medal to his name. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
