Manchester United winger Marcus Rashford has enjoyed a strong start to the season but the 24-year-old has less than a year remaining on his current deal, with the Old Trafford club having an option to extend that for an additional season.
Rashford has scored three goals and assisted another two so far this season, which earned him the Player of the Month prize for September.
Rashford has started all seven league games under Erik ten Hag and there are no indications that his place is in danger but the arrival of Antony, and the strong form of Jadon Sancho, could mean that United are planning for his departure.
According to Football Insider, Arsenal are now keeping tabs on the situation and have set their sights on bringing him to the Emirates Stadium.

As per the report, Arsenal hold a longstanding interest in Rashford and were monitoring the situation before they signed Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City earlier this year. It’s claimed that United value Rashford at £50m but as things stand, he is heading for the exit doors on a free transfer.
Speculation surrounding Rashford’s future is not alien, with French giants Paris Saint-Germain said to be interested over the summer.
Following the closure of this year’s transfer window, it was also reported that Kylian Mbappe wanted his club to sign Rashford from United.
