Tottenham Hotspur Urged To Move In For This Manchester United Attacker: Should De Zerbi Go For Him?

Speaking on Sky Sports’ Tottenham summer special podcast, pundit Jamie O’Hara urged his former club Tottenham Hotspur to move in for Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford. O’Hara said,

“I just don’t know why we[Tottenham] don’t go for Marcus Rashford. I really think that Spurs should just go, how much do you want? How much can we get him for? I know he’s on £350,000 a week, and obviously Spurs potentially can’t afford that, but he’s such a brilliant player.

“If you get him at it with a point to prove, I just think he’s still one of the best players around. If he stays at Man Utd, I think he’ll play, so I just don’t know why we’ve not been interested in him.”

Rashford’s Excellent Loan Spell At Barcelona

Rashford enjoyed an impressive loan spell with Barcelona in the previous campaign as he was responsible for putting in a lot of productive performances for them in the final third. The English talent found the back of the net 14 times and secured 14 assists in 49 appearances for the Catalan club last season in all competitions.

The 28-year-old is currently one of the most talented attackers in the Premier League. Hence, Spurs would do well to lure him to North London in this transfer period.

His current contract at Man United will run out in the summer of 2028, which could make it tough for Tottenham to sign him on the cheap this off-season.

Should Tottenham Hotspur Boss Roberto De Zerbi Go For Rashford?

Rashford is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make a few dangerous runs with it out on the flanks. He has proven himself to be a reliable goal-getter in the final third and can even engineer some promising chances for his teammates to score.

The English sensation can contribute by scoring and creating his fair share of goals up top. Rashford mainly plays as a left-winger but can also serve as a centre-forward or operate as a right-sided wide player if needed. He has a wealth of experience in the Premier League and won’t take much time to adjust to life at Tottenham.

Rashford would bring more quality to Roberto De Zerbi’s frontline. He is capable of nailing down a regular starting place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next season.

At 28, Rashford is playing in his prime at the moment. Therefore, Spurs would be wise to go for a player of his quality and experience in this transfer window.
