Man Utd forward Marcus Rashford has been urged to sign an \u2018offer\u2019 from Arsenal by Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick, according to reports.<\/p>\n
Rashford spent the whole of the 2025\/26 season on loan at the Camp Nou as Barcelona agreed a \u20ac30m option to make the deal permanent this summer.<\/p>\n
Barcelona are yet to trigger that clause with speculation that they don\u2019t want to pay a fee that high as well as Rashford\u2019s huge wages, especially after the signing of Anthony Gordon from Newcastle.<\/p>\n
There are rumours that Rashford is currently \u2018resigned\u2019 to starting pre-season at Old Trafford with his potential transfer set to take longer than anticipated.<\/p>\n
Barcelona are apparently willing to spend around \u00a313m on Rashford, while there is reported interest from Arsenal<\/strong>Newcastle, Tottenham, Aston Villa and Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n However, the Daily Mirror<\/em> revealed earlier today that<\/strong> Rashford is \u2018not interested in going to either Newcastle or Tottenham\u2019 as he continues to plot a transfer away from Man Utd.<\/p>\n READ: <\/span>Arsenal desperate not to join the worst ever Premier League champion transfer XI<\/strong><\/p>\n And now reports in Spain claim that Barcelona boss Flick is \u2018asking him to please accept\u2019 a transfer \u2018offer\u2019 from Arsenal as he is not in the German\u2019s plans, even on a free transfer.<\/p>\n The report adds: \u2018The German coach no longer sees him as a necessary player and, given Arsenal \u2018s interest, his stance is that the best option for all parties is for Rashford to accept a move to the Premier League.\u2019<\/p>\n After the arrival of Gordon from Newcastle, Flick doesn\u2019t see a place for Rashford without upsetting other players in the Barcelona dressing room.<\/p>\n On a potential move to Arsenal, the report continues: \u2018The reality is that Arsenal can offer Rashford something that Bar\u00e7a can no longer guarantee: a prominent role and a project where Mikel Arteta is looking to revamp his attacking options. The Spanish manager wants more attacking alternatives, and the Manchester United player fits the bill as a market opportunity to strengthen the Premier League squad.<\/p>\n READ: Jacobs confirms Arsenal \u2018are in talks\u2019 to make first summer signing as fee is revealed<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2018Therefore, Flick prefers that Rashford not force a move to Barcelona. If he stays, it could end up being a dressing room problem. Not due to a lack of quality, but because he no longer has a place in the team. A player of his stature isn\u2019t expected to accept a secondary role, and Bar\u00e7a isn\u2019t in a position to promise him a starting position. Furthermore, the club\u2019s financial situation forces a choice: invest or reduce the wage bill, and\u00a0\u00a0Rashford isn\u2019t among the priorities.\u2019<\/p>\n Paul Scholes has already given his approval to Rashford leaving Man Utd for Arsenal in the summer with a potential transfer \u201ca great move for both parties\u201d.<\/p>\n Scholes said on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast<\/em>: \u201cBarcelona have a deal in place to buy him but I think they\u2019re trying to get him cheaper.\u201d<\/p>\n When asked about Arsenal\u2019s reported interest in Rashford, he added: \u201cThat would be a great move, a great move for both parties.<\/p>\n \u201cI think Arsenal would be a great move for him and the club.\u201d<\/p>\n When asked whether Man Utd fans could see Rashford return, Scholes replied: \u201cNo, it very rarely happens, a big player like that going to a big club and then coming back.<\/p>\n \u201cThey very rarely come back and I don\u2019t think United will really want him back.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT: <\/span>\u2018Anti-Arsenal law\u2019 introduced for World Cup as England and Tuchel rocked by yet more \u2018leaks\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\nRashford to Arsenal would be \u2018a great move for both parties\u2019 \u2013 Scholes<\/strong><\/h2>\n
