The Manchester United forward\u2019s future is uncertain after Barcelona decided against turning his loan spell into a permanent deal, despite having the option to do so for \u00a326million.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Instead, the LaLiga champions have opted for Rashford\u2019s international team-mate Anthony Gordon, completing a \u00a370m transfer prior to the start of the World Cup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

So, where does this leave Rashford? Well according to The i Paper, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs are all plotting a move for the forward as the London trio bid to bolster their attacking options.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

However, even if the 28-year-old did have a change of heart, the aforementioned report states Man United have no interest in selling to a Premier League rival.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

At one stage this summer, Man Utd would have been powerless to prevent Rashford joining Arsenal, for example, and for a cut-price fee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Can Arsenal sign Rashford for \u00a340m this summer?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

No. The Athletic previously reported that there was a \u00a340m exit clause in Rashford’s contract that all clubs – barring Liverpool and Manchester City – could trigger to open talks over a summer transfer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

He said: \u201cI was very clear with everyone involved before the World Cup, I wanted (a transfer) done before.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

\u201cIf it\u2019s not, I wanted it to wait until after. I want to be fully present in the moment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
