In anticipation of a potential transfer in 2023, Arsenal is apparently planning a surprise and frightening bid for Manchester United star Marcus Rashford.
According to reports, Rashford’s contract with Manchester United will expire next summer, which will put a lot of clubs on notice, particularly if an extension is not offered.
Many Old Trafford supporters wouldn’t have been too sad to see Rashford go after a few poor seasons, but under Erik ten Hag, he has improved.

Rashford is currently leading the line for Ten Hag and keeping Cristiano Ronaldo off the Manchester United team.
But because a new deal hasn’t been signed, he might still depart the team soon. Rashford will have the opportunity to sign a pre-contract with a European team in January.
Arsenal is getting ready for another window in January after doing well in the summer. The likes of Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and company helped the Gunners, and they have their sights set on a few players for the winter transfer window.
According to a report from Football Insider, who claims the Gunners are “keeping close tabs on him,” Arsenal is one among the clubs interested in the 24-year-old.
According to the source, United does have the option to give him a one-year extension to prevent him from leaving for free, but Arsenal could still make a play for the England international.
Manchester United would suffer greatly if they lost a vital player to Arsenal, but they won’t want to hang on to him if he doesn’t want to play for them.
