Arsenal could make late loan move for Manchester United forward There are rumblings that Arsenal could make a late loan move for Marcus Rashford of Manchester United, according to a report.

But Delaney adds that some sources believe the situation could see Arsenal making a move for Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford on a temporary deal. At the moment, there doesn’t appear to be too much substance behind the claims, with Delaney suggesting it’s just as possible Arsenal decide to keep the money and wait.

Back in May, Chris Wheeler and Nathan Salt reported for the Daily Mail that Arsenal were monitoring Rashford’s situation. At the time, it was believed the forward was unlikely to have a future at Manchester United, even if he didn’t make his loan move to Barcelona permanent.

After signing Christos Tzolis , Arsenal remain in the market for another left-sided attacker, and Rashford’s 13 goals and 14 assists in just 2,378 minutes this season (one every 88 minutes) might make him a candidate. But the rumours are still relatively tentative at this stage, and they’d need to develop a lot more very quickly for a deal to go through. Photo by Stephen Pond/Getty Images
