Arsenal are keeping tabs on the Marcus Rashford situation at Man United…

Before a pretty humiliating Manchester derby, United were starting to find their feet under Erik ten Hag. Obviously, this process is always going to take time. It’s not something that happens overnight.

Amongst the most impressive players so far this season is Marcus Rashford. The Englishman is slowly finding his feet under the Dutchman, scoring and assisting goals aplenty. It has been great to see.

Rashford won September’s Premier League Player of the Month award recently, before coming back for the derby following injury.

Well, in a weird transfer story, Arsenal are looking to move for Rashford due to his ongoing contract situation…

It’s Football Insider with the story. They say that the Gunners are ‘keeping close tabs’ on the in-form United star. That’s because the player’s future is apparently ‘up in the air’ due to his current deal expiring next summer.

At this point, it feels like a good idea to mention that Rashford does in fact have a clause in his contract, allowing United to extend his deal by a further twelve months. That is yet to be activated.

OTF’s opinion

Well, we believe that clause hasn’t been activated because there’s a good chance that Rashford is set to be offered a long-term deal instead. Obviously, that makes far more sense at this stage in his career.

Honestly, to us, this feels like good old paper talk. For Rashford, this would be a sidestep at best. Until Arsenal can prove they’re capable of winning trophies, then there’s absolutely zero reason why he’d even consider making this move.

For now, take this one with a pinch of salt…
