In recent weeks, Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta has had conversations with Manchester United player Marcus Rashford. Both sides have expressed interest and verbally accepted the terms, but it remains to be seen whether Manchester United are willing to accept the sale of Rashford to Arsenal.

Although Arsenal and Manchester United are two teams that regularly compete with each other in the Premier League, transferring players between the two clubs like this is not too rare. Arteta’s contact with Rashford shows that Arsenal really wants to add a quality striker to their attack.

Rashford, 25 years old, has gone through a quite difficult 2023/24 season with Manchester United. Rashford’s position at Old Trafford is still not completely safe when the team has many other attacking options such as Antony, Jadon Sancho or Alejandro Garnacho.

Moving to Arsenal will be a new step in Rashford’s career. At Emirates, he will be given the opportunity to play more often and be able to show off his talent. With Arsenal’s creative attacking style of play, Rashford will be able to make the most of his scoring and assisting abilities.

However, Manchester United also does not want to easily give up a young and potential player like Rashford. The club will try to negotiate to get a reasonable transfer fee. Meanwhile, Arsenal must also consider carefully before offering a price that is too high for their ability.

The coming weeks will be a key time for the two clubs to reach a final agreement. If this transaction is successful, Arsenal will own a young, promising striker who can become the mainstay of the team for many years to come. As for Manchester United, they will have more revenue to strengthen their squad in the upcoming transfer season.
