RASHFORD ON ARTETA’S RADAR.

Marcus Rashford has reportedly met with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta in recent weeks as the summer transfer window approaches.

According to @AFCCAMDEN on X, Arteta has discussed the possibility of the 26-year-old Manchester United forward moving to the Emirates Stadium. While there is mutual interest, it remains uncertain how willing Manchester United would be to sell Rashford to Arsenal.

Rashford has had a challenging season, raising questions about his future. He played 43 games for Manchester United this season, scoring eight goals and providing five assists. Despite signing a new contract with United last summer, which runs until 2028 and is worth £325,000 a week, any potential transfer would be complex and likely expensive, especially if it involves a rival like Arsenal.

Rashford has previously expressed a desire to spend his entire career at Manchester United. In a 2020 interview with Goal, he said, “For me, I never look beyond Manchester United. As a kid, I never looked beyond Manchester United. In my mind, it wouldn’t sit right for me to be pulling on another shirt. I just want to do my best for the club while I’m here. Long term hopefully.”

He also highlighted his deep connection with the club, recounting how United supported him from a young age. “All the good things that have happened this year have come from Manchester United giving me an opportunity as a kid. I don’t just remember the last year or the last five years,” he added. “I’m talking about when nobody in my family drove, and I had to get to training, and United had people to come and take me to the training ground and take me back home when I was six, seven, eight, nine. The times they put me into accommodation when my mum was struggling at home, when I was 11 and I was there up until 16/17. It is a lot deeper than what people see sometimes. I think people see some of the stuff that has been happening since I’ve been in the first team, but the bond that I have with United is much greater than these last five years, and it will forever be greater than probably my actual career because they are the reason I have become a footballer, they have given me the opportunity to express myself and to find out I had talent in football.”

It remains to be seen if Rashford will move to Arsenal this summer. Football.london understands that Arsenal is in the market for a forward who can play in multiple positions across the front line, with players like Benjamin Sesko, Alexander Isak, Joshua Zirkzee, and Brian Brobbey being linked to the club.
