Former Arsenal midfielder, Ray Parlour has urged the club to sign Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford if he is available in the summer transfer window.
Parlour said he would ‘love’ Arsenal to bring Rashford to Emirates as he believes Man United would be ‘mad’ to sell the England international.
Rashford is said to be considering his future at Man United.
The 24-year-old is closing in on 300 appearances for his boyhood club, Manchester United but is seriously questioning his future at Old Trafford for the first time after last weekend’s Manchester derby snub.
Rashford was expected to lead the attack line for the Red Devils in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani, but interim manager Ralf Rangnick instead opted to start Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes in advanced positions.
The forward, who has been linked with Paris Saint-Germain recently, was said to be unhappy at Rangnick’s decision and considering his future altogether as he has only started nine Premier League games so far this season.
“Marcus Rashford is going through a bit of a bad spell, but he’s a top player,” Parlour told talkSPORT.
“I’m sure lots of clubs will be enquiring about Marcus Rashford if he was available in the summer.
“Certainly Arsenal, I would love him to come to Arsenal. That’s the position Arsenal need to look at this summer, it is vital for the club.
“It looks like [Alexandre] Lacazette and [Eddie] Nketiah are heading out the door, but I hope they keep Lacazette for another year.
“He’s really shown he cares about the club and his effort has been excellent. He doesn’t score enough goals, but the link-up play has been excellent.
“If Rashford’s available – and I don’t think he would be because United would be mad to sell him – but if he is available, then Arsenal would definitely be interested.”
