Pundit Andy Townsend has told the likes of Chelsea that and Manchester United star Marcus Rashford has the mentality to play at a big club after spending the year on loan at Barcelona last season<\/p>\n
Rashford\u2019s future at Old Trafford remains one of the biggest talking points of the summer transfer window following the end of his loan spell at Barcelona. Although the Spanish champions were impressed by the 28-year-old\u2019s performances, they opted against activating their option to sign him permanently after strengthening elsewhere, leaving the England international facing an uncertain future.<\/p>\n
CHELSEA<\/strong> have been tentatively linked with Rashford in recent weeks as speculation continues over where the forward could play next season. Reports suggest Manchester United are open to offers for the academy graduate, although any move to a Premier League rival would be a complicated one.<\/p>\n Townsend said on CasinoHawks: \u2018Rashford showed at Barcelona that he can play at a big club, he understands that mentality.<\/p>\n \u2018At \u00a335m, I\u2019d be surprised if a deal doesn\u2019t get done, depending on his salary demands. If he wants to stick on \u00a3300,000-a-week, then he\u2019s going to have a problem.<\/p>\n \u2018But there\u2019s no point in going back to Manchester United and not playing at his age. That doesn\u2019t send a great image to potential suitors if he\u2019s happy to just sit on the bench.<\/p>\n \u2018Marcus and his team should be working around the clock to find the right environment for him at the right level, wage-wise. You want to play.<\/p>\n \u2018At nearly 29, he\u2019s in his peak, and he needs to be out there more often than not.\u2019<\/p>\n With transfer speculation continuing to gather pace and Townsend adding his voice to the debate, the England international\u2019s future is likely to remain firmly in the spotlight over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n Whether CHELSEA<\/strong> decide to test Manchester United\u2019s resolve remains to be seen, but Townsend is convinced Rashford has the quality to make a significant impact at Stamford Bridge if the Blues choose to pursue a deal.<\/p>\n MORE BIG CHELSEA NEWS AND GOSSIP<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Latest: \u2018Joined in the biggest club in world\u2019 \u00a350M star announces after Chelsea transfer deal wrapped up!<\/strong><\/p>\n Top Read: Chelsea fans blow up social media after seeing shock \u00a350 million deal happen!<\/p>\n Must Check Out: Chelsea fans react to possible \u00a3400k-a-week signing \u2013 Midfielder makes Blues decision \u2013 Blues blow up amid \u00a3120M rumours<\/strong><\/p>\n Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nLOVE CHELSEA?
