The forward has struggled at United this season after starting out with a shoulder injury and his future at the club is ‘up in the air’.

The North Londoners are desperate to land an attacker from the top shelf this summer and the England international is reportedly a ‘leading target’.

Arsenal lost star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Barcelona during the January transfer window.

Manager Mikel Arteta is also likely to be left without any centre-forwards at the end of the season as Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah’s contracts run out in June.

Rashford has endured a tough campaign with United as he has only registered a mere five goals in 31 appearances across all competitions.

The 24-year-old’s contract with the Red Devils runs out in 2023 and includes the option of a further 12 months.

And his future at United will largely depend on incoming manager Erik ten Hag, who is reportedly set to shake things up at Old Trafford.

Rashford has been with the Manchester giants since the age of eight when he joined the academy.

After a series of impressive performances with the youth teams he earned a senior call-up in 2015.

Rashford has since amassed a total of 93 goals and 57 assists in 302 appearances.
