Newcastle United, Tottenham rival Barcelona in Marcus Rashford chase

Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona are reportedly interested in signing Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford in the summer transfer window.

As per a report by Caught Offside, Marcus Rashford has no shortage of suitors pursuing his signature in the summer transfer window. Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are the latest clubs to show interest in him, joining Barcelona and others in the chase. The Englishman is ready to take a pay cut to join his next club.

The English striker faces an uncertain future at Manchester United, and he needs to leave them permanently. He did reasonably well during his loan spell at Aston Villa, and it will be interesting to see if any club is willing to provide him with an exit route.

Newcastle United could use more depth in their attacking unit, and Rashford would be an excellent acquisition. He could complete their front three alongside Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon. The Manchester United misfit is a reliable performer in the Premier League, and regular football at Newcastle United could help him get back to his best.

The Magpies have secured Champions League qualification, and they managed to win a domestic trophy last year. They have an ambitious project and a talented squad. The Englishman could be attracted to the idea of joining them. They have the resources to pay the asking price for the players as well.

It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Newcastle United must improve their squad if they want to match up to the elite clubs next season. Rashford was regarded as one of the best attackers in the Premier League a few years ago, and there is no doubt that he has the ability to get back to that level once again.

Tottenham and Barcelona keen

Meanwhile, Tottenham need attacking depth as well. Dominic Solanke has been inconsistent, and he needs more support in the final third. Signing Rashford would be a wise decision. The Manchester United academy graduate is versatile enough to operate in multiple attacking roles, and he will add goals and creativity to the side.

Tottenham will be able to offer him UEFA Champions League football, and they are one of the biggest clubs in the country. He could be attracted to the idea of playing for them. Finally, La Liga champions Barcelona has been linked with Rashford as well. They need to find a quality long-term alternative to Robert Lewandowski.

The Manchester United striker could be an attractive opportunity for them. He is likely to be available for a reasonable amount of money, given his situation at the English club. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. Rashford had 20 goal contributions last season, and he is on massive wages at Manchester United. However, he is willing to take a cut to facilitate a move this summer.
