Arsenal is allegedly prepared to make a €50 million transfer offer for Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford this summer. However, the out-of-form striker is ready to snub the offer and will prefer to stay at Manchester United.
The England international has had a difficult season at Old Trafford, and his future has been a source of debate recently. His current contract will end in June 2023.
Rashford is reportedly evaluating his future at Manchester United, and the 24-year-old is seeking clarity on his situation as his contract nears its end. Arsenal was one of the clubs interested in signing him this summer. Mikel Arteta considered him as a possible alternative for long-term target Gabriel Jesus.
However, the Mirror has now reported that Marcus Rashford has decided to stay at Manchester United after being guaranteed that he will have the opportunity to impress new manager Erik ten Hag during pre-season training.
According to reports, the attacker is confident in his ability to perform well and feature regularly under Ten Hag at Old Trafford next season. Arsenal’s pursuit of Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has taken a hit as a result of this revelation.
The striker hasn’t been at his best in a while, but a move to Arsenal and a chance to work with manager Mikel Arteta might help him rediscover his form.
It’s unclear whether United would sell Rashford to a rival, but if Mikel Arteta can lure him to the Emirates Stadium, where he’ll be having a key role as Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah are both out of contract this summer.
It’s now completely up to the striker whether he wants to stay or make the last moment move.
