Rashford sign for Coventry on loan

Breaking News: Marcus Rashford Joins Coventry City on Loan in Stunning Move

In a stunning turn of events, Coventry City have completed the loan signing of England international and Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford. The Sky Blues announced the high-profile move this morning, sending shockwaves throughout the Championship and beyond.

Rashford, 27, joins Coventry on a season-long loan deal in a bid to regain top form and regular playing time ahead of the 2026 European Championships. The move reunites him with manager Frank Lampard, who has made no secret of his desire to bring in elite talent to bolster Coventry’s promotion push.

A New Chapter

Speaking at the official unveiling, Rashford expressed excitement about the new challenge:

“I’m really happy to be here. Coventry is a club on the rise with massive ambition. I spoke to the manager and I was convinced by his vision. I want to play football regularly and help this team fight for promotion.”

The deal is believed to include no option to buy, with Rashford expected to return to Manchester United next summer. However, insiders suggest that United manager Erik ten Hag was open to the move after a difficult 2024–25 season saw Rashford fall down the pecking order at Old Trafford.

Lampard’s Ambition

Coventry City boss Frank Lampard welcomed the England international with open arms:

“This is a massive signing—not just for Coventry but for the Championship. Marcus brings quality, leadership, and experience at the very highest level. We’re building something special here, and he fits right in with our goals.”

Rashford will wear the No. 11 shirt and could make his debut in the club’s opening fixture next weekend. His arrival is seen as a signal of intent from Coventry, who narrowly missed out on Premier League promotion last season.

Fans React

Coventry fans have flooded social media with excitement and disbelief. One supporter tweeted, “Rashford in Sky Blue? What a time to be alive!” while others are already dreaming of a title-winning campaign.

With Rashford leading the line and Lampard at the helm, Coventry City suddenly look like serious contenders to top the Championship and return to the Premier League for the first time since 2001.

What’s Next?

As Rashford begins training with his new teammates, all eyes will be on Coventry’s next match—one that is sure to attract more attention than ever before.
