Jamie O’Hara Backs Tottenham to Snap Up £325K-a-Week Man Utd Outcast as PSG Switch Doubtful | OneFootball

Rúben Amorim’s decision to omit Marcus Rashford from the squad for Manchester United’s last three matches has sparked renewed speculation about the forward’s future at Old Trafford.

Ben Jacobs of Give Me Sport recently reported that while Paris Saint-Germain has not made any recent moves for Rashford, the club’s sporting advisor, Luis Campos, is closely monitoring the situation.

PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has previously engaged with Rashford’s representatives, but further discussions are unlikely unless the player expresses a genuine interest in moving to the French capital. This cautious approach follows Rashford’s decision to sign a five-year contract extension with Manchester United in July 2023.

Jacobs also revealed that Rashford is open to exploring opportunities in La Liga, with Barcelona reportedly viewing him as a potential addition to their squad. However, financial constraints could complicate a move, with the only viable option being a loan deal if Manchester United agrees to cover a significant portion of his wages.

TalkSPORT pundit Jamie O’Hara has expressed his desire to see Tottenham sign Marcus Rashford, stating he would “love” to see the forward join the club. However, O’Hara acknowledged that a move to North London is unlikely.

“I’d snap your hand off for him,” O’Hara said (h/t TBR Football). “But I don’t think he’d sign for us. I would love him at Spurs but I just don’t think we’d be able to afford his wages.

“One of the big teams in Europe will have him. Bayern Munich, Dortmund, someone will pay his wages, 100 percent, PSG… He will go somewhere. At the end of the day, Marcus Rashford is a big name in football, so I think he will definitely still have the opportunity to go and play football somewhere.

“And he needs to. He needs to get out of Manchester United. It’s done, it’s over, move on. He needs to get away from it.”

The Athletic reported on Thursday that while Tottenham could benefit from additional attacking options, a move for Marcus Rashford appears unlikely. At 27, Rashford does not fit with Spurs’ recent strategy of targeting players under 23 since Ange Postecoglou’s arrival.

Rashford’s preferred position on the left wing, already occupied by captain Son Heung-min, Timo Werner, and Wilson Odobert, further complicates the potential fit. Additionally, his £325,000-a-week wages present a significant financial hurdle for the club.
