Tottenham eyeing summer move for veteran Manchester United star harbouring Barcelona dream

Man United star Marcus Rashford is tipped to leave M16 amid Tottenham links

There is a visible tension around Tottenham following a slow start to the summer for the North London club. While rival clubs were busy signing new players in the first three weeks of the transfer market, the Lilywhites were still trying to figure out their managerial situation for next season. Now that a new manager is appointed following Ange Postecoglou’s departure, Spurs should shift their focus on signing new players.

Daniel Levy has a huge task on his hands as he looks to bring in quality players for next season. The North London club has a massive chance to build on the Europa League success, and they cannot be complacent heading into the summer. A lot of problems need to be addressed if the Lilywhites want to close the gap on their rivals next season.

The buzz around N17 following the Europa League success has certainly died down… and what better way to get the fans excited for next season than to announce a statement signing under a new manager? Thomas Frank needs to be backed in the summer if the Danish tactician wants to follow the footsteps of his predecessor and win silverware during his time at Hotspur Way.

Tottenham want to sign Man United star Marcus Rashford in the summer

Tottenham struggled to find consistency in the final third of the pitch last season. For most parts of the campaign, Ange’s men relied on individual brilliance in the final third as they endured a disastrous Premier League season. One of the main reasons for Big Ange’s sack was that the players failed to find any rhythm while playing against quality teams week in week out in domestic competitions.

Now, the North London club is looking to address that problem in the summer. As per CaughtOffside, Spurs are interested in signing Marcus Rashford from Manchester United for next season. The England international is not in Ruben Amorim’s plans moving forward, and he is also willing to take a pay-cut to seal a move away from M16.

However, Tottenham might find it tough to land the 27-year-old in the summer. The prolific winger has a lot of suitors that want to bring him in for next season. Newcastle United, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona are some of the clubs interested in adding Rashford to their ranks in the summer. The aforementioned report also states that the Englishman prefers a move to Barcelona over other clubs in the summer.  

Signing Marcus Rashford would mean that Heung-Min Son might lose his place in the starting eleven under Thomas Frank. The England international can either play as a number nine, or on the left flank. Bringing the 27-year-old to N17 would elevate the quality of the attack significantly, and the Lilywhites would be a serious threat going forward under the newly-appointed Spurs manager.

The Man United star would thrive under Thomas Frank as well. Rashford has world-class dribbling ability, and he likes to take on his man time and again. The prolific winger has great ball-striking skill as well, and he is also efficient in front of goal. The 27-year-old also thrives during counter-attacks, using his explosive pace well to break free from the defenders. There is not a lot to complain about his ability, but the Englishman’s constant struggle to perform consistently has been a setback in his game for quite some time now.
