Marcus Rashford is spending the season on loan at Barcelona, but there remains uncertainty over whether the Spanish club will complete a permanent move for the attacker at the end of the campaign.
Barcelona reportedly retain the option to sign Rashford permanently, although there is still a strong possibility that the forward could return to the transfer market during the summer. Manchester United are believed to prefer a permanent sale rather than reintegrating him into their squad for another season if Barcelona decide against extending his stay.
The situation has attracted attention from several clubs across Europe, including Arsenal, who have shown interest in Rashford in the past. United were previously reluctant to consider selling an important player to a direct rival, but reports now suggest their stance has softened as they continue planning for the future.
Arsenal Monitoring Rashford Situation
Arsenal are expected to strengthen their attacking options at the end of the season as Mikel Arteta looks to build a squad capable of competing consistently for major honours. The Gunners are assessing multiple forwards ahead of the summer transfer window, and Rashford is believed to be among the players under consideration.
The England international’s versatility and experience at the highest level are qualities that could appeal to Arsenal as they seek to improve their attacking depth. Rashford has continued working to regain his best form during his time in Spain and remains focused on making a positive impression at Barcelona.
United Open to Potential Sale
Traditionally, top clubs are often reluctant to sell key players to domestic rivals because of the risk of strengthening direct competition. However, Manchester United’s current position regarding Rashford appears to be more flexible than it was in previous years.
As revealed by Football365, United would not have any major concerns about selling Rashford to Arsenal if the Gunners intensify their interest in signing him. Despite that possibility, the forward’s immediate priority remains securing a permanent future at Barcelona, and he is expected to continue working hard in an effort to convince the Spanish club to complete a full transfer at the end of the season.

A better upgrade to our left wingers…
£25 million or £30 million a very good deal but salary might be an issue, Rashford can play as a number 9 too.
Sell Gabriel Jesus , Fabio Veiera , Reiss Nelson, Kiwior and try and get any of these players
Rashford
Gordon
Iliman Ndiaye
Donyell Malen
I think this is a red herring and hope it is. We do not want Rashford. Not the commited player we need and not the quality we need either. Very surprised if this has legs.
Same. Obviously has talent, but if he returned to the Prem would he revert to the behaviour that had United sending him off packing to Barca?
Would 100% rather go for Gordon if we’re looking at another current EPL player. Far better workrate and a consistent goal threat.
But have long said Barcola seems the right profile for us – especially if we don’t sell Martinelli. We have a couple of center forwards now and we could really use more pace and creativity in wide areas. Trossard won’t be with us much longer.
I think we will sell Martinelli. Trossard also but I think Arteta likes his quality. It just depends on Trossard. He only has one year left.
Agree Reggie.
I might ve wrong, but id rather we have much less of these players who first these expensive clubs (City, ManU, PSG, Real Madrid and all such ones) and later seem to want to be part of Arsenal.
I rather prefer players whose interest is for Arsenal right from the onset …. Saliba, the Gabies, Hincape, Timber and all such players……
For me, it’s ok to bring him. he is more disciplined now. He’s a human being. He just needs to toe the line.
I would add Godts to Rashford and sell Vieira
