Bayern Munich have turned heads with their reported interest in Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford.
Bayern Plot Rashford Raid After Villa Loan Spell
Marcus Rashford is likely leaving Manchester United later this summer. One of the clubs circling around is Bayern Munich.
He had a good loan spell with Aston Villa last year. In 27 games, the forward scored four goals and made six assists. That form seems to have impressed Bayern scouts. New manager Vincent Kompany is keen on strengthening his attack. That form seems to have impressed Bayern scouts. New manager Vincent Kompany is keen on strengthening his attack.
Marcus came through the ranks at Utd, no longer appears to be in the club’s long-term plans. The Red Devils are said to be open to either a loan deal, a permanent transfer, or even a swap option. Reports suggest Man Utd want around £40m for the Englishman. Bayern could meet the price if they decide to go all-in. Once a key figure at Old Trafford, Rashford’s future now looks uncertain.
European Giants Compete for Marcus’ Signature
Bayern aren’t alone in the chase for the Utd forward. There are reports that Barcelona are interested in the player too as he is seen as favouring a move abroad. The Catalan club are already in the market. They already have a bid rejected for Liverpool’s Luis Diaz recently. Additionally, Diaz is on Bayern’s radar as well.
This shows Bayern’s intent to add strength in the wide areas with quality players this summer. If a deal for Diaz does not come off, then Rashford could be Kompany’s prime target.
The English striker wants a fresh start and the Bundesliga club wants to bolster their attacking options, so this will likely become a hot topic quickly.
Whether it’s a straight deal or part of a swap, Rashford’s future seems far from Manchester. Now, all signs point to a major European move on the horizon.
