Manager of Arsenal, Mikel Arteta is said to have begun discussions with Marcus Rashford of Manchester United over a possible summer transfer. After having a standout 2022–2023 season, Rashford found it difficult to carry over his form into the just finished one. He overcame all obstacles to win the FA Cup. His poor performance has drawn criticism. Manchester United seems to be open to offers for many of its players—apart from young players like Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho, and Kobbie Mainoo.
Arsenal is eager on capitalising on Rashford’s present circumstances. According to a recent rumor, the Gunners consider Rashford to be a great prospect for the position of flexible attacker who can play throughout the frontline. Rashford has showed interest in moving to the Emirates Stadium, and Arteta and him have already had preliminary talks.
Arsenal Will Hold Talks With The £325,000-per/week Manchester United Star
Though it’s unclear whether Manchester United will let their standout talent go. Additionally costing Rashford a place in England’s team for the next European Championship are his difficulties this season. Players’ careers have been revived by Arteta in the past, as demonstrated by his signing of Kai Havertz from Chelsea. Usually playing left side, Rashford might be a wise addition given Gabriel Martinelli’s poor performance towards the conclusion of the season.
It is well knowledge that Rashford can score against elite teams. To Arsenal, a club that has been vying for championships, adding a player of his calibre would be advantageous. Still, Manchester United will probably want a big price to allow Rashford leave. Apart from that, Arsenal would have to spend a large amount of money to get Rashford because of his hefty wage, which is presently £325,000 per week.
Rashford’s possible transfer to Arsenal would be expensive even if it would improve the squad. The result is probably going to depend on further talks and negotiations, hence the situation is still ambiguous.
