Danny Murphy names Premier League team who are the ideal landing spot for Marcus Rashford
Danny Murphy has picked out a rival Premier League team who would be the perfect next club for Manchester United star Marcus Rashford. It comes just days after it was revealed that the Red Devils are ‘open to offers’ for the forward, despite him seeming to have found his feet under Ruben Amorim. GettyRashford has scored three goals since Ruben Amorim came to Man United[/caption] Rashford has scored 138 goals in 425 games for Man United since he the start of his senior career in 2016 having come through the club’s academy. But, since a successful 30-goal season in 2022/23, he has failed to find consistent form. There have also been ‘concerns about his lifestyle’, with Sky Sports Germany reporting that his side are open to selling the £300,000-a-week star. Getting his high salary off the books would ease pressure on Man United’s Financial Fair Play restrictions. Rashford has, though, netted three times in two Premier League starts under Amorim, with the forward beginning to look like his former self again. Speaking on talkSPORT, Danny Murphy revealed that he thinks Arsenal would be the perfect club for Rashford should he leave Old Trafford. “Playing in a team that’s so settled and so confident and competent, there is a case that his end product would get much better, because Arsenal are really dominant in games” Murphy said. “There would be some people who would take Rashford over Martinelli” he added, referencing that Arteta could be the manager to ‘turn him around’, despite not managing it with Raheem Sterling. On Man United’s current attackers: “He’s still the best one, on his day, He’s the most dangerous one. “If I looked at all their front players and thought ‘Who can win me a game? Who can score a goal? Who’s going to hurt people?’ I’d have him ahead of [Alejandro] Garnacho, [Rasmus] Hojlund and Antony this season. Murphy believes that Arsenal could be a perfect fit for RashfordGetty “The biggest problem with Marcus is the perception. The aesthetics of him, he sometimes looks down on himself, slumped. But when you possess such pace, power and athleticism, I’m amazed that there hasn’t been videos with him saying ‘have a look at yourself’. “The ability he’s got and physical attributes he has, he’s capable of more. But he’s been at a club where the managers and managerial team has not been stable, the team’s not been great”. Simon Jordan added: “I think he’s been allowed to develop into some sort of rut by certain managers. “We listen to what I thought was a pitiful podcast he did telling us how woeful his life was at times and how challenging it was, we’ve seen observations from his mother about the fact he’s picked on in the press and so on. “But Marcus is capable of doing far better than he’s doing. I think it’s down to the manager. “Whatever he does or doesn’t do, is what he’s allowed to do by the manager. I think this manager will burn him or churn him.” GettyAmorim seems to have found signs of the former Rashford[/caption] Rashford’s most successful season came in 2022/23, when he scored 34 goals and assisted nine across all competitionsGetty Meanwhile, Hojlund has only netted twice in the top-flight so far this seasonGetty On the story about Man United wanting to sell the forward, Jordan explained: “Obviously Rashford, he’s a bit of a Jack-the-lad, he was in New York the other day with a hoodie on, he must have problems off the field.
