Where next for Marcus Rashford? Newcastle, Tottenham, Inter Milan or revitalised under Ten Hag?

After rising through the ranks at the Red Devils, academy graduate Marcus Rashford looked to be improving season-on-season at Old Trafford.

The current favourites to poach the Manchester United striker are Newcastle United, who will look to strengthen their squad with a few marquee signings this summer.

Money is no issue for the Magpies following their Saudi-backed takeover and they'll be targeting a top-half finish at the very least.

While Callum Wilson is a loved figure around Tyneside, his poor injury record cannot be overlooked. Even if fit, Wilson will need competition up front and Rashford fits the bill.

The excitement around St James' Park could be enough to help Rashford rediscover his love for the game, and he'd no doubt receive a warm welcome from Newcastle fans still buzzing from their club's strong finish to the season.

Rashford's signature would likely demand a hefty transfer fee and Tottenham have plenty of other positions Conte would prefer to address this summer.

If United slash their asking price then Rashford could be tempted to move to
