Marcus Rashford issues verdict on Tottenham transfer ahead of Manchester United return | OneFootball

Spurs have been linked with interest in the England star

Marcus Rashford has no interest in joining Tottenham, or any English club, this summer, as he prepares to return to Manchester United.

Rashford is still expected to leave Old Trafford this summer, despite Barcelona opting against triggering their £26million option to sign the England international permanently.

Barca instead plumped for Anthony Gordon, spending £70m to bring the winger to Camp Nou from Newcastle.

It leaves Rashford at somewhat of a quandary when he returns from international duty at the World Cup with England.

The Athletic report that Rashford has no desire to play for a Premier League rival, with only a move abroad of interest at it stands.

Barca covered Rashford’s eye-watering £375,000-a-week salary during the player’s loan spell, and Man Utd are expected take on that wage from July 1.

“But everyone knows what a great player Marcus can be for whatever club he plays for next season.”
