Newcastle is in the market to attack players. Among the summer goals is Man United’s Marcus Rashford.
Recently, it has been reported that Newcastle could miss out on signing Joao Pedro, its biggest target to provide coverage across the front line. The reason the option is Rashford, as the versatile attacker is nominated by Eddie Howe, appeals to the Carabao Cup winners.
Newcastle is interested in signing Marcus Rashford on loan
According to a football insider, former Man United Scout Mick Brown confirmed that Newcastle would like to sign Rushford on loan during the transfer period this summer.
“Newcastle is keeping an eye on Rashford, and he will be a good addition to Eddie Howe’s team.
“I don’t doubt he’s interested either because he can play Champions League football there too. He’ll be an option for them, but only if they can lend him out.
“Because that’s the problem, he has to make a decision on wages. The loan move to Newcastle would mean United will pay that percentage.
Rashford, who scored 11 goals and eight assists during the 2024-25 season, could be a good option for Newcastle, but it appears they’re just moving their terms. So Man United may have to resign himself in another year where he will not leave permanently.
