Marcus Rashford, Manchester United and Arsenal
28 August 2026
Marcus Rashford has rejected a late Arsenal approach and decided to remain at Manchester United to fight for his place. The England forward also reportedly turned down Fenerbahce after a hoped-for return to Barcelona failed to materialise this summer.
Arsenal considered a loan move after needing another left-wing option, but Rashford chose to remain at Old Trafford. Manchester United are now content to keep him, with Michael Carrick said to be impressed by his application since returning to first-team training.
