According to reports, Arsenal are closely monitoring Marcus Rashford’s circumstances at Manchester United in preparation for a potential summer transfer of the forward.
Despite making 26 appearances across all competitions, the 26-year-old has only managed four goals and six assists, hardly exhibiting his finest form for the Red Devils during the 2023–24 campaign.
Following the events of last week, there has been a lot of conjecture about his future in the days that have passed. The Man United academy product was seen out in Belfast on Wednesday and Thursday night before missing training on Friday due to illness.
Man United issued a statement on Monday attesting to the fact that the “internal matter” had been resolved, and Ten Hag restated this position at his news conference on Wednesday.
Arsenal are reportedly monitoring the 26-year-old striker and may attempt to make a transfer in the summer, according to a Football Insider report.
As per the source, the Gunners had strong interest in Rashford in the summer of 2022 and may do so again in the summer transfer window.
In all competitions, Rashford has made 385 appearances for Man United, tallying 127 goals and 74 assists along the way.
It is unclear if the two teams will be able to come to a deal, but the report states that United are expected to seek more than £45 million for the England international.
Despite his poor form this season, Rashford’s quality is there to be seen by everyone. The England international can play in a number of positions, possesses pace and his quality to take on players can prove to be useful for any team that he plays for.
However, selling Rashford should not be on the agenda of the club as he is a boyhood Man United fan who wants to play for the club, has quality and has performed for United countless times in the past.
