Liverpool ponder surprise move for 27-year-old Manchester United man

Liverpool have emerged as surprise candidates for the signature of Manchester United outcast Marcus Rashford.

Marcus Rashford’s future has been a massive talking point since the start of the summer. While multiple top clubs have been linked with him, nothing concrete has happened so far. However, things could change in the near future as Manchester United’s arch-rivals, Liverpool, have been linked with the English international.

According to Daily Mail via Sky Sports, the Reds are considering signing the United outcast as they look for a new striker to lead their attack under Arne Slot. With Rashford made available, the Merseyside club can certainly try to sign the 27-year-old.

Rashford was an integral part of United’s first team under Erik ten Hag. While he wasn’t in the best of form, he was still a guaranteed starter under the Dutch manager. However, the arrival of Ruben Amorim at the club complicated things for the English forward.

The Portuguese manager wasn’t pleased with his output in training, and following a rift between the two, Rashford was exiled from the first team. He eventually ended up joining Aston Villa on a short loan deal.

While he did an impressive job for Unai Emery’s team, and they did want to sign him, they were not willing to pay the entire amount that was decided upon before the loan spell. The English international is back at his parent club, but he has no future at Old Trafford.

They are looking to find him a new club. While Barcelona seem interested in his services, they seem to be playing the waiting game. United are pushing hard to get him off the books as his departure could significantly bolster their summer transfer budget.

Liverpool are considering signing Rashford

While things haven’t gone according to plan for them so far, they now have a potential new buyer in Liverpool. The Reds are in the market for a new striker as Arne Slot isn’t pleased with Darwin Nunez’s performances. He is ready to sell the South American star, and following the tragic loss of Diogo Jota, signing a new striker is a top priority.

Newcastle’s Alexander Isak was their top target. While they did knock on the Magpies’ door to make their interest known and were ready to break the bank for him, Eddie Howe’s team have no intentions of negotiating his departure.

As a result, the Reds have shifted their attention elsewhere. They have multiple names on their wishlist, and Rashford is one of them. He is a proven Premier League star and could certainly be a valuable addition to their squad.

He is available for a cut-price fee, which makes the move even more appealing. However, the relationship between the two clubs could complicate matters. The last direct transfer between Liverpool and Manchester United dates back to 1964, highlighting just how challenging this deal could be.
