Marcus Rashford transfer update as Premier League clubs weigh up move amid Arsenal links
Premier League clubs are reportedly weighing up a move for Manchester United winger Marcus Rashford amid links with Arsenal previously.
Rashford finds himself on the verge of an exit from Old Trafford after a tumultuous December. The winger was dropped for the victory over Manchester City and then, a few days later, he confirmed in an interview with Henry Winter that he would be open for a new challenge away from the club.
He was an unused substitute in the defeat against Newcastle but has been left out of all their matches since the interview. On Sunday, Rashford missed the game due to illness.

With the January transfer window now open, speculation is ramping up as to where Rashford's future lies. According to David Ornstein at The Athletic, unnamed Premier League clubs are weighing up a move for the winger on loan for the remainder of the season.
Arsenal have previously been linked with a move for the forward and before the summer, there were hints that Mikel Arteta could green light a bid for Rashford if he wished to leave. However, that move did not transpire as the forward was deemed to be happy to stay at Old Trafford.
Other clubs said to be interested in a loan approach for Rashford are spread across Italy and Germany. Borussia Dortmund, who took Jadon Sancho on loan this time last year, have joined Juventus and AC Milan as potential suitors for the Englishman.
Our colleagues at the Manchester Evening News reported last week that Rashford had rejected moves to Saudi Arabia and Turkey as he searched for an exit that could revitalise his career.
