Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have both been linked with a summer transfer swoop for Manchester United's Marcus Rashford, whose future is uncertain as Barcelona are now focusing on Anthony Gordon
Arsenal and Spurs have reportedly discussed a possible move for Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford following an impressive loan spell at Barcelona.
The La Liga side agreed a £26m option-to-buy the England international, but want to add another striker to their ranks.
Hansi Flick's side would prefer another loan move for Rashford, leaving them financial wriggle room to bring in another forward, with Newcastle United's Anthony Gordon on the brink of a move to Barcelona.
The Daily Mail claims Man United and Rashford are set for talks about his future this week, with the England star looking for some clarity on his future ahead of the World Cup.
Rashford impressed with 14 goals and 14 assists in 49 appearances in all competitions for Barcelona, and he's made it clear his dream is to move to the Nou Camp permanently.

Aston Villa have also reportedly discussed a move for Rashford this summer, having impressed at Villa Park on loan at the end of last season.
Barcelona are admirers of Chelsea forward Joao Pedro, but the Blues have no plan on selling the Brazilian.
Arsenal are understood to be in the market for a winger this summer, as they look to bolster their forward line after winning the Premier League title.
However, the Gunners will likely have to offload several first-team players, with the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, Ethan Nwaneri and Ben White linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium.
As for Tottenham, they're looking to add some quality to their squad after narrowly avoiding relegation on the final day of the season.
Speaking about his recruitment plans this summer, De Zerbi said: "Listen, we have a great relationship with Johan and Vinai and the whole board. I have no doubt, but it's right because I came to start a new plan, a new project, and the plan was not in Sunderland.
"It was after Everton, staying in the Premier League. My target was very clear at the beginning. I gave all my best. I pushed to arrive at today. From today, we have to start to work.
"Look, my target when I came was today, to arrive today, after the last game and planning the next Premier League. I'm sure we have not to change too many players. It's not right. It's not right because we are lucky to have a lot of good players, a lot of good guys.
"I think we have to complete the squad in the best way, with the first level of players, with the right behaviour of the players, because now the qualities of the players are important, but more important is the spirit, the mentality of these players - and now the job starts."
