It has been quite a fall from grace for Marcus Rashford at Manchester United.
From scoring 40 goals in all competitions just last year and signing a new deal to potentially being moved on this summer amid an environment of toxicity and frustration.
The Peoples Person recently relayed a report that United will be willing to listen to credible offers for the player and if he wants, he can move on.
However, not many would have predicted that the list of interested parties for Rashford would include Arsenal!
That’s exactly what TEAMtalk report as they say the Gunners are plotting a shock move for the United academy graduate.
It is a move even the spectre of which has the potential to create an earth-shattering effect in the Premier League.
While the rivalry between Arsenal and United isn’t nearly as competitive as it is with Liverpool and Manchester City, Rashford is much more than just another player for United.
Despite failing this season and copping a lot of criticism, he is a Manchester-born and bred star who has come to symbolise United during his career.
Therefore, while it is certainly possible that Arsenal will be plotting a move for him, it would be startling if that road continues any further.
Certainly, Sir Jim Ratcliffe wouldn’t want one of his first transfer acts as owner to sell an academy product to competitive rivals!
As for Arsenal, their potential, if unlikely interest in Rashford is easy enough to make sense of.
Their attacking reinforcements this season have flourished but they have lacked a clear goalscorer which Rashford showed last season he has the potential to be.
Along with fellow English players like Bukayo Saka, Arteta could be trying to land a hammer blow to his rivals while strengthening his own squad.
Still, this one seems to be straight out of an Arsenal brief to unsettle United as the chances of the Red Devils sanctioning this move, even if Rashford wants it, are next to nil.
