Arsenal is said to have made contact with Manchester United about a possible transfer for Marcus Rashford in the January window. The winger has found himself sidelined recently, having been omitted from the squad for the Premier League match against Manchester City in mid-December.
Following this, Rashford revealed in an interview that he would be open to seeking a new challenge away from Old Trafford. His comments suggested that he was considering his future, which has led to his absence from subsequent games against Bournemouth and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Rashford’s situation at United has become increasingly uncertain, as his lack of involvement in recent fixtures has raised questions about his role at the club. With the January transfer window approaching, his potential move to Arsenal has gained attention, although the specifics of any deal remain unclear.
Rashford made a return to the bench in the final match of 2024 against Newcastle but missed the recent game at Liverpool due to illness. Meanwhile, his agent and brother, Dane, has been reportedly working in Italy to secure a move for Rashford.
AC Milan seems to be the frontrunner, but journalist Massimo Marianella claims that Arsenal has now made a move to contact Manchester United about the winger. He also mentioned that United has valued Rashford at €25m (£20.9m).
Arsenal has shown interest in Rashford before, particularly last summer, but no move materialized. Now, with the Gunners possibly looking to make an official bid, it remains to be seen whether they would opt for a loan or permanent transfer.
