One pundit has shared their belief that Tottenham Hotspur could be the perfect next club for Marcus Rashford if he decides to leave Manchester United. Rashford’s performance has been on the decline this season, having previously shown a lot of promise the previous season. This season, he has only managed to score five goals in 27 appearances, which is a stark contrast to his previous form. Off-field issues have also plagued him, adding to the turbulence of this season for Manchester United.
Although Rashford extended his contract with Manchester United until 2028, there is notable speculation about a potential move elsewhere. Among the clubs linked with a move for Rashford are Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal. However, former Premier League striker Stan Collymore believes that Tottenham, under the management of Ange Postecoglou, could be the best fit for Rashford.
According to Collymore, Postecoglou has brought a positive dynamic to Tottenham, and Rashford has notably struggled at Manchester United. The stability and positive atmosphere surrounding Postecoglou’s management could be what Rashford needs on his next career move. This comes as Manchester United appears to be experiencing some instability under its current manager, despite winning the Carabao Cup last season.
Rashford has been inconsistent this season, struggling to achieve the levels of performance that allowed him to score 30 goals from 56 games the previous term. This inconsistency has raised questions about which version of Rashford is the most accurate representation of his abilities, leading to speculations about a potential move away from Manchester United.
However, as a player with 59 England caps and 17 international goals, Rashford would still have expectations of playing for a reputable club should he consider ending his long-standing association with Manchester United. Both Tottenham and Arsenal are aiming for European qualification next season, but where Rashford’s future lies remains uncertain.
Rashford prefers to play on the left wing, despite fluctuating numbers in that position. Meanwhile, Tottenham currently have Timo Werner on loan from RB Leipzig, who can play either on the left or at centre-forward. The situation with Werner and the potential return to Bayern Munich could create space for Rashford to step in that role. On the other hand, Arsenal is currently searching for an upgrade at centre-forward to enhance their pursuit of the Premier League title.
Tottenham’s progress to European qualification next season and Arsenal’s return to the Champions League after an absence could also factor into Rashford’s decision if he decides to leave Manchester United. As of now, Rashford remains a Manchester United player, having made 386 appearances and scored 128 goals for the club’s first team. The decision about his future remains to be seen.
