Stan Collymore, as a result, has urged the gunners to go after him.
He revealed on CaughtOffside:
“Marcus Rashford would be a great fit for Arsenal. Away from the pitch, he’s done some great work, but in footballing terms, he’s been a Manchester United player for so long that I worry familiarity is breeding contempt.”
“He knows what it’s like to play for a massive club, so I would have no doubts that he could deal with the pressure of playing for Arsenal.”
“I think Rashford would benefit massively from a move at this stage in his career. He’s only 24 years old, so he still has plenty of football left to play.”
