Arsenal plot ambitious Rashford transfer plan as Man Utd relationship sours

Arsenal will offer Marcus Rashford an escape from Old Trafford this summer.

The Gunners are in the market for a frontline striker and will add the name of Manchester United’s striker to their hit-list. Mikel Arteta needs a recognised senior forward after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang quit the Emirates for Barcelona.

And both Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah are currently out-of-contract, leaving the Spaniard short up front.

The Gunners were linked with a string of forwards during January’s transfer window and Rashford was not understood to be up for grabs.

However, a schism has developed with the striker coming under fire following an incident with supporters following the Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid.
