Nicolas Raskin just played himself into a very different tax bracket. The Rangers midfielder turned the 2026 FIFA World Cup into a personal audition tape, and Manchester United appears to have liked what it saw.
Rangers are reportedly holding firm on a price tag of around €30 million, roughly £20 million-plus, for the Belgian. For a player who arrived at Ibrox from Standard Liege on deadline day in February 2023, that’s a tidy return on investment.
The World Cup effect
Raskin featured in six matches during Belgium’s 2026 World Cup campaign, registering two assists along the way. His standout moment came in Belgium’s 4-1 demolition of the USA in the last 16, where he provided an assist before the Red Devils were eventually knocked out by Spain.
