Arsenal are reportedly eyeing a move for Manchester United star Marcus Rashford. The Gunners are looking to bring the Englishman to the Emirates as he is no longer a part of Ruben Amorim's plans.

As per Massimo Marianella on Sky Italia, Arsenal have made a move to sign Rashford this month. He stated that the Gunners currently value the forward at €25 million, which will fall short of the valuation set by the Red Devils. Marianella said:

“It seems that Arsenal have made a phone call to Manchester United for Rashford. The club has valued him at €25 million.”

Teddy Sheringham spoke to Express Sport last month and stated that Rashford will cost at least £100 million. He said:

“Oh, you’ve got to be talking £100 million. I’m very surprised that there’s talk about him leaving United. I think Man Utd need to keep their best players and get them working to the best of their capabilities. So I’d be very surprised if Marcus leaves.”

Manager Ruben Amorim has not given Rashford any minutes since he was dropped from the squad for the Manchester derby on December 15. He has claimed that the Englishman has not shown commitment in training and will not be picking the player based on merit.

Arsenal urged to sign Manchester United by Bacary Sagna

Bacary Sagna recently spoke to The Mirror and has claimed Arsenal should be looking to sign Marcus Rashford. The former Gunners defender believes that the Manchester United star is perfect for Mikel Arteta's side and said:

“I would love to see Marcus Rashford at Arsenal. I think if you added Rashford to Arsenal’s attack, with the pace that he has, Arsenal would destroy the opposition. Adding Rashford to an extremely talented squad would be a frightening prospect for Arsenal’s rivals. Rashford is so quick."
"I think Arsenal having Rashford would enable Arsenal to have more variety in attack and I would love to see Gabriel Jesus and Marcus Rashford in the same team, pressing with so much intensity. Rashford joining Arsenal would be a wonderful signing for the club and a real statement of ambition."

Rashford has been linked with AC Milan while West Ham United have also shown interest in signing the forward.
