Would you like Arsenal to go for him?

Marcus Rashford with a point to prove would be quite the player...

Marcus Rashford suggests he is prepared to leave Manchester United

“For me, personally, I think I’m ready for a new challenge and the next steps.”

No, we need a chaotic square peg. But I'm pretty sure we'll buy him, yes.

gooner63.bsky.social•71 days ago

Before the season started i would have said yes. Now I'm not sure. It's been a long time since he has been elite. In any case I doubt arteta would greenlight it.

messagendmusic.bsky.social•72 days ago

No. He can go try rebuild his career in Spain

paynielf.bsky.social•72 days ago

No, we need to stop taking washed up players from our rivals.

omelettecoleman.bsky.social•72 days ago

Maybe. Playing Devil's advocate he can finish from distance and has a lot of great attributes. We signed Welbeck from United and he always seemed to work hard for Arsenal despite the injuries. No reason why Rashford can't do the same.

omelettecoleman.bsky.social•72 days ago

Not sure where people got the idea that becoming disaffected at Manchester United is some sort of character flaw either. It's what all good people should do!

jpmc99.bsky.social•72 days ago

The problem is Rashford is nowhere near as good as the fee Utd would want for him, nor is he anywhere near as good as the wage he’d want. Non starter.

michaelmccarthy92.bsky.social•72 days ago

If he's not good for United, he should be nowhere near Arsenal.

adamskimyrenski.bsky.social•72 days ago

Certainly not at his current salary.

profpdabir-alai.bsky.social•71 days ago

Depends on price and weekly pay for me. If these are exorbitant then no. Sterling hasn't quite worked out at around £8m a year.

jmmcfaul.bsky.social•72 days ago

He's 27, on huge wages and just been left out for not working hard enough defensively. He also seems to have too many distractions off the pitch. Hard no from me.

kaydotu.bsky.social•71 days ago

I feel there’s something there. I just don’t think he’s ever been coached properly or given the platform he needs to perform. There’s no hunger. Looks like Havertz x Chelsea.

ssemekim.bsky.social•72 days ago

Loan with an option to buy? Sure. Anything permanent seems unrealistic for a top club at this point.

twe1ve1.bsky.social•72 days ago

No. Sick of this “I can fix him” strategy

jackwilshere123.bsky.social•72 days ago

Yes. Entering his prime. Pacey forward.upgrade on Martinelli and Trossard. Market opp

prasshant.bsky.social•72 days ago

I think it will be a good move for everyone... For him to leave UTD and for Arsenal NOT to sign him.

Too much baggage, huge salary, not the intensity Arteta expects.

stockholmgooner.bsky.social•71 days ago

Rashford would be a bit like the Danny Welbeck-signing back in the day, but much older and without the work rate and mentality

liberalronswanson.bsky.social•72 days ago

I don’t think he fits what Arteta wants to do. There’s an incredible attacker in there, but even before this run of form he wasn’t a track back/effort kind of guy. If he’s smart he’ll go to Germany.

benjaminrose.bsky.social•72 days ago

No. Let someone else roll those dice.

highburyjvc.bsky.social•72 days ago

Big fat no. Not for what he can do on the ball but for what he can't do off it. I doubt Arteta would believe he can fit into our out-of-possession system.

almn5.bsky.social•72 days ago

Feels like he’s on the way down, so no thanks. Rashford should’ve never signed that contract last summer. He’ll won’t be able to move without United paying him off. He’s on more money than Sterling.

timinno.bsky.social•72 days ago

Absolutely not, yikes!

natboults.bsky.social•72 days ago

Yeah, nah..

magicrat1091.bsky.social•72 days ago

We need a Number 9, really.

chrisnorton66.bsky.social•72 days ago

Absolutely. Nothing better than someone with something to prove. He scored 30 goals the season before last and plays in the exact position we are struggling. It’s risky but so is Nico Williams who has only scored 1 goal this season. Young players often flatline, just as Martinelli has

merse10.bsky.social•72 days ago

Has scored 20+ in all comps 3 out of the last 5 seasons.

Not many, if any, of our current squad can say that.

Even his 7 this season is more than Jesus, Martinelli and Trossard

merse10.bsky.social•72 days ago

Would need a 50% pay cut to start.

diemeinkeschaft.bsky.social•72 days ago

That’s what we thought about Sterling too.

itsdavesanders.com•72 days ago

Depends. Can he play left back?

joebuckendahl.bsky.social•72 days ago

I think Arteta could get the most out of him, but not sure it’s any better than what he already has to work with.

luceelastic.bsky.social•72 days ago

I'll add mine

dailycannon.com•72 days ago

The replies so far

bo-mccarthy.bsky.social•71 days ago

cal1886.bsky.social•72 days ago

I think he would be way out of our price range, but I would be prepared to get behind Rashford coming to N5

arsenalcannonpod.bsky.social•72 days ago

Sterling but more expensive + charity - trophies? No lol.

milquetoast-man.bsky.social•72 days ago

It’s really easy to fall into this logic. I get it. But there was a really good player in there. Question is what’s left of him and can it be resuscitated. He’s the wrong side of 25 for that much risk so I’d say no. Off to Italy with ya’ lad.

arsenalcannonpod.bsky.social•72 days ago

There was but that was many moons ago. If that fella wanted to revive his career he’d have left United a long time ago.

Him just now wanting out doesn’t sit right with me at all.

Italy, Saudi, or West Ham and have fun.

highburyjd.bsky.social•72 days ago

WestHam can’t pay him £300K

geojacob.bsky.social•72 days ago

Nope

jarredgoss.bsky.social•72 days ago

Not for me, I don't think we need another fixer upper.

seancresham2787.bsky.social•71 days ago

No, wages too high, and his attitude isn't great these days compared to what he was a few years ago, he's the type of player that could start off great but fade quickly. Avoid

bongopondit.bsky.social•72 days ago

If we hadn’t gotten Sterling, I’d have considered it (though the wage would be a factor) - in fact, preferred him on the bench over Sterling.

fromdialsquare.bsky.social•72 days ago

No!!!!

goonern5.bsky.social•72 days ago

Nope.

michaelpacholek.bsky.social•72 days ago

Marcus Rashford at Arsenal would be just like Raheem Sterling at Arsenal.

An always-overrated player now way past his prime, and not worth the expense of energy, time or money to get him.

modavies.bsky.social•72 days ago

He could/should have been a better CF for England than Kane but plateaued very early. Salary expectation too high and needs to curb nightlife. Suspect he's too far down that road to pull himself back. Right player but very much the wrong time.
