  • Manchester United star Marcus Rashford is one of the most in-form players in Europe
  • At the end of this season, he will have just one year left on his contract at Old Trafford
  • Arsenal have emerged as a shock suitor for the English striker with Mikel Arteta a fan

Marcus Rashford is one of the most in-form players in Europe since football resumed at the end of the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup, playing a pivotal role as Manchester United reached the final of the Carabao Cup.

However, the club is facing a difficult time with their star man. His contract, which initially was set to expire at the end of the season, was unilaterally extended after Man United triggered a one-year extension.

The contract situation has alerted some of Europe's top clubs to the situation, who would be willing to sign him as a free agent if he does not extend. Now, a shock interested party has also emerged.

Arsenal interested in Marcus Rashford

According to Football Insider, Mikel Arteta is a big admirer of the England international and would love Arsenal to sign the Red Devils academy graduate.

This fresh revelation comes after Mirror UK reported that Paris Saint-Germain are interested in signing the 25-year-old on a free transfer and are willing to offer him a mouthwatering salary of £850,000 per week.

Arsenal interest amuses United fans

The news came off as a joke to most United fans, while some others see it as an attempt by Rashford's PR team to use it as a negotiating tool for a new contract.

"Rashford is united through and through. Absolutely no chance EVER of him going to another PL club. The only way he leaves, is united kick him out. Even then it'll be to a foreign club, psg, Bayern, Madrid etc."

Rashford's car has wrong plates

Rashford may be in scintillating form and rarely misses on the pitch, but he missed the target off the pitch, Sports Brief has reported.

He has been driving with the wrong number plate on his car, due to a reported error from when the car was fetched from the supplier.

The £200,000-a-week player drives a McLaren 765 LT, but the number plate on his car was registered to another driver's Skoda Citigo.
