Man Utd Target Brentford's Kevin Schade: Rashford's Future in Doubt

· GiveMeSport

Manchester United are showing an interest in Brentford's Kevin Schade, potentially ending Marcus Rashford's time at Old Trafford.

Rashford and Matheus Cunha are competing for the left-wing spot at United at the moment, but Michael Carrick doesn't seem set on either of them in that position.

There were suggestions that United should have targeted a new winger during the summer transfer window, but they failed to address any areas other than the midfield.

Heading into 2027, United could switch their focus to strengthening their forward line, and signing a winger could be one of their new priorities.

The Red Devils may also look to strengthen their defence, but they do seem to be targeting a set of positions each window at the moment.

According to a report from Caught Offside, Manchester United are one of the teams showing an interest in signing Brentford forward Schade next year.

Schade is a player capable of playing in multiple positions in the forward line, and he could be the ideal addition for United going forward.

The German international would be the ideal mix of both Rashford and Cunha. Schade has the pace and directness of Rashford, but also the trickery and versatility of Cunha.

Given that Schade is only 24 years old, younger than both Rashford and Cunha, he could be an upgrade on the United duo.

The 24-year-old has enjoyed an impressive start to the season with Brentford, providing four goal contributions in his first five games in the Premier League.

Reports have claimed that Brentford are looking to open contract talks with Schade , but interest from clubs like United might sway his decision.

Manchester United may have just signed the next Nani.

As mentioned, Schade has raw pace that would be hugely beneficial for United on the left-hand side of attack.

The Brentford forward previously claimed that he is the fastest player in the Premier League .

Convincing Brentford to part ways with Schade will be the difficult task, but it wouldn't be a surprise if he was keen on a move to United, especially if they qualify for the Champions League again.

Bringing Schade to the club would likely mean that either Rashford or Cunha would have to move on, and it certainly wouldn't be a surprise if it was the former.

Rashford has been surplus to requirements at times during his United career, sent out on loan on multiple occasions, so the signing of Schade could end his Old Trafford stay.
