Marcus Rashford agreement emerges between Arsenal icons as star wants to leave Man Utd

Marcus Rashford looks to be on his way out of Manchester United and two Arsenal icons have admitted that they would love to see the forward join Mikel Arteta's side. The United striker has endured a miserable time at the club recently and his struggles were compounded as he was brutally cut from Ruben Amorim's squad for the Manchester derby on Sunday. While the red half of the city was left basking in glory following United's late 2-1 comeback win over Manchester City, Rashford was left facing the end of his long stint at Old Trafford as he confessed that his time at the club is coming to an end.
Rashford has been in a state of flux for some time at United. After impressing in the early stages of Erik ten Hag's tenure, where he hit 30 goals in the Dutchman's first season, his form has since dwindled with a hammer blow coming this summer when he was left out of the England squad for Euro 2024.
However, while many potential suitors such as PSG and Barcelona have been rumoured, Rashford's next destination could be a lot closer to home with Arsenal being mooted as an ideal fit for the 27-year-old. That's according to Gunners' alumni Bacary Sagna and Emmanuel Petit.
During a visit to his old primary school on Tuesday, Rashford told journalist Henry Winter that he is ready to spark new life into his career. "For me, personally, I'm ready for a new challenge and the next steps," Rashford said. "When I leave it's going to be no hard feelings. You’re not going to have any negative comments from me about Manchester United. That’s me. I will always be a Red. If I know that a situation is already bad I'm not going to make it worse. I'e seen how other players have left in the past and I don't want to be that person. When I leave I'll make a statement and it will be from me.".
