Arsenal and Barcelona Circle Marcus Rashford as Transfer Deadline Looms
Marcus Rashford could yet leave Manchester United before Tuesday's transfer deadline, with Arsenal and Barcelona both monitoring the England international's situation, according to TEAMtalk.
United have brought Rashford back into their first-team fold, handing him the number 9 shirt and introducing him from the bench during the opening-day defeat at Hull City. The club's preference remains to keep him, and they are currently working on that basis.
Arsenal hunting left-sided cover
The Gunners find themselves in the market for attacking reinforcements on the left flank after sanctioning Gabriel Martinelli's departure to Al-Hilal. Among the options they have explored is Real Madrid forward Endrick, though TEAMtalk understands Rashford is a player Arsenal have long admired.
A late approach for the United forward has not been ruled out, and Arsenal's interest carries genuine weight given the urgency of their left-side search ahead of Tuesday's deadline.
Barcelona's ongoing admiration
Barcelona's interest in Rashford stems from his successful loan spell at the Nou Camp last season. The Catalan club have kept a line of communication open with his camp and, while a return has not been completely dismissed, they had prioritised other attacking targets.
Julian Alvarez of Atletico Madrid was previously high on Barcelona's list, but a move to the Nou Camp before Tuesday is now considered highly unlikely, which could yet redirect their focus back towards Rashford.
A departure still unlikely — but not impossible
TEAMtalk reports that United are fully aware of the interest in Rashford from multiple clubs. A departure is described as highly unlikely, yet it has not been categorically ruled out. Should a convincing offer arrive and United secure alternative attacking cover — especially with Joshua Zirkzee set to join Fiorentina — the situation could shift rapidly before Tuesday's window closes.
