How Rashford compares with Chelsea

According to ESPN, Rashshord has now scored more goals across competitions compared to what Chelsea have scored in the Premier League.

The Blues, who have endured a frustrating run of form have scored just 23 goals in the English top flight, one goal less than what Rashford has scored.

Chelsea's disappointing spell continued over the weekend when they suffered a 1-0 shocking defeat against relegation-battlers Southampton.

The Blues had earlier in the week lost to Borussia Dortmund and were hoping to bounce back to winning ways against the Saints.

Meanwhile, Rashford will be desperate to continue with his impressive goalscoring streak against Barcelona during their Europa League second-leg clash.

Arsenal interested in Marcus Rashford

The England international has been the subject of controversial headlines this week. Sports Brief earlier reported Arsenal are interested in the Manchester United academy graduate.

The news came off as a laughing stock to many United fans who claimed it was either a joke from Arsenal or there was never any interest at all from the North London club.

Rashford and United are in a contract standoff. His current contract expires in 2024 and there is yet to be an agreement over a new one, but there are confidence he will stay.
