Arsenal are reportedly keeping a close eye on Marcus Rashford’s contract situation at Manchester United, with the North London giants considering signing the centre-forward next year.
The 24-year-struggles old’s during the 2021-22 season prompted speculation that he might leave Old Trafford in the summer, but he has been an important player this season under new Red Devils manager Erik ten Hag.
Rashford has three goals and two assists in seven Premier League games this season, but his contract with Manchester United expires at the end of June.
The Red Devils have the option to activate a 12-month extension, and it has been reported that the club is eager to begin talks on a new long-term contract at Old Trafford.
According to Football Insider, the Gunners are monitoring the situation and are open to bringing the England international to the Emirates Stadium in 2023.
Rashford shone in the Premier League against Mikel Arteta’s team earlier this month, scoring twice and assisting in a 3-1 victory at Old Trafford.
However, the forward struggled against Manchester City in the Manchester derby on Sunday and was replaced in the 59th minute by Anthony Martial, who went on to score a brace.
PSG were heavily linked with Rashford in the closing stages of the summer transfer window, but Manchester United shut the door on any potential exit before the deadline.
Rashford has now played 310 times for the 20-time English champions, scoring 96 goals and providing 60 assists in the process.
According to a recent report, the Red Devils wanted to start talks with the club’s academy product about a new five-year deal at Old Trafford.
