It has been exclusively revealed that Arsenal are interested in signing Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, despite his unclear future.
The 26-year-old remains an important player at Old Trafford, but his form this season has been generally disappointing following a brilliant 2022/23 season in which he scored 30 goals.
Rashford has scored only seven goals in the Premier League this season. Overall, the Red Devils have had a terrible season and now sit sixth in the rankings.
According to recent news reports, Rashford has been dissatisfied at Manchester United, which might explain his recent slump in form. However, TEAMtalk insiders say the England international still “loves” the club and will do “everything he can to make things work.”
Nonetheless, we can reveal that many Premier League and European clubs have shown an interest in Rashford, and he is aware of this. We can exclusively disclose that Arsenal is one among the teams keeping a close eye on Rashford’s situation.
Arsenal keep a tight eye on Marcus Rashford
According to insiders, Arsenal might make a move for Rashford in the summer, but convincing him to leave Manchester United will be difficult.
Man Utd are determined to keep him and would only contemplate an exit “if an acceptable fee is put on the table,”
Sir Jim Ratcliffe believes Rashford is worth at least £70 million and may fetch up to £90 million to £100 million in an auction. However, the actual price is unknown at this time.
Rashford is under contract until 2028, having only signed a new contract in the summer of 2023, meaning Manchester United has complete control over discussions.
It’s no secret that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is looking to bring in a new winger to compete alongside Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, and Bukayo Saka.
According to sources close to the Gunners, they are not quite sure that Rashford is the best man for the role, but he is on their shortlist.
Rashford has repeatedly demonstrated that he possesses the necessary skills to play at the highest level, but a change of environment may be beneficial to his career. Tottenham, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich, in addition to Arsenal, all said to be interested in the attacker.
