Arsenal legend urges old club to sign Manchester United's Marcus Rashford

An Arsenal legend has called upon his old club to sign Marcus Rashford this summer.

Manchester Evening News understands that Rashford has been considering his future at Old Trafford after playing a cameo role in the Reds' defeat to Man City last weekend. Ralf Rangnick told the press in a pre-match briefing that Rashford needs to transfer his training ground form to competitive fixtures if he wants to regain his place in the starting XI.

On Saturday, Gary Neville claimed that Rashford leaving Old Trafford would be a lose/lose scenario for both the club and the player. He specifically noted that it would be a 'failure' for United's development system.

Reports from Spain have suggested that Barcelona would be interested in signing Rashford in the close season. Ray Parlour, who played over 400 times for the Gunners, believes that his old club should be battling for his signature.

He told talkSPORT : "I am sure lots of clubs will be enquiring about Marcus Rashford if he was available in the summer. Certainly Arsenal, I would love him to come to Arsenal.”
