Arsenal keep tabs on Marcus Rashford’s situation at Manchester United, with an approach for the talisman possible in the summer.
According to Football Insider, Mikel Arteta is keen on signing Marcus Rashford if an opportunity arises. Arsenal are keeping tabs on the forward’s contractual situation, with a summer approach likely.
Marcus Rashford endured a terrible season under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick, scoring 5 goals in 32 appearances. Injury problems aside, he suffered from a loss of form that saw him lose his starting position in the team.
The England international has come out differently this season under Erik ten Hag, bagging 21 goals and 8 assists in 34 games. He is in a hot streak of form since returning from the World Cup, where he was the top scorer for the Three Lions with three goals alongside Bukayo Saka.
Arsenal are pondering the idea of playing Rashford alongside Saka in their attack. They could approach if the opportunity arises. The Manchester United talisman will enter the final year of his deal as his contractual situation remains unresolved.
Mikel Arteta is reportedly keen on the star attacker and could urge the club to explore an opportunity in the summer. Manchester United took the option of extending that contract back in December. His deal now expires in 2024. Ten Hag is reportedly obsessed with getting a renewal in place for Rashford, as he does not want to lose the star.
Meanwhile, there’s tremendous interest from PSG in Rashford, with the Parisians prepared to pay him big wages to join in the summer. Hence, Arsenal faces the tough prospect of luring the Manchester United talisman to the Emirates. The Red Devils will not want him to join a direct rival.
Manchester United remain confident of a renewal and could finalise a deal before the season ends. For now, Rashford’s chapter could be open for clubs to register an interest. It may become a problem for Ten Hag’s side going forward.
As for Arsenal, they are in a strong position to attract many top players to the Emirates. Their recent rise under Arteta has seen them challenging for titles. In the coming years, they could only get stronger. Stars like Rashford will certainly propel the overall quality and make them contenders on all fronts.
