Marcus Rashford hints at final Man United transfer decision on his immediate future amid Arsenal ‘secret meeting’

Marcus Rashford is said to be on Arsenal’s radar as the summer transfer window nears opening

Marcus Rashford has reportedly met with Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta in recent weeks ahead of the summer transfer window opening next month.

According to @AFCCAMDEN on X, the Gunners head coach has met with the Manchester United forward, with the prospect of the 26-year-old moving to Emirates Stadium among the topics discussed.

The account suggests there is interest from both sides but it “remains to be seen how willing United would be to sell” to Arsenal.

Rashford has struggled for form this season, leading to questions over what the future holds for the England international. The forward appeared 43 times for Man Utd this campaign, scoring eight goals and assisting five more.

With Rashford signing a new contract with the Red Devils only last summer, a deal until 2028 worth £325,000 a week, any move away from Old Trafford will not be straightforward. It will also also likely be expensive, especially if a sale is to a rival such as Arsenal.

Interestingly, Rashford has previously hinted that he wants to stay at Manchester United for his entire career. Speaking to Goal in 2020, 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.”

“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.
