Tottenham are now ready to sign ‘unbelievable’ Manchester United star before deadline day
Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United remain highly active as the January transfer window nears its conclusion. Both clubs have endured a challenging season, with United currently sitting in 12th place, while Spurs trail them by three spots and five points.
Despite their struggles, neither team has secured an outfield signing. Tottenham’s only acquisition so far has been goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky, while United have yet to complete any deals, though Patrick Dorgu appears to be closing in on a move to Old Trafford.
Amid their search for reinforcements, Tottenham could soon become involved in one of the most intriguing transfers of the window, as they prepare to offer Marcus Rashford an exit route from Manchester United.
The England international has found himself sidelined under Ruben Amorim, having been left out of the squad for over a month. Rashford has not played a single minute in United’s last 11 matches across all competitions, making it increasingly clear that the club is looking to offload him before the window shuts. Securing a permanent transfer appears unlikely at this stage, but a loan deal remains a viable option.
Reports suggest multiple clubs are monitoring Rashford’s situation, with Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona, West Ham United, Juventus, Napoli, and Galatasaray among those expressing interest.
Tottenham have now emerged as a serious contender, reportedly willing to provide him with an escape route from Old Trafford for the remainder of the season. The North London club faces an ongoing injury crisis, with several key attackers sidelined, including Dominic Solanke. If Spurs manage to bring Rashford in, he would significantly strengthen Ange Postecoglou’s attacking options at a crucial time.
While a move to Tottenham presents an attractive opportunity, Rashford has made it clear that he seeks a new challenge elsewhere. He has spent his entire career at Manchester United, but with his situation deteriorating, a departure now seems best for all parties involved.
Alan Shearer has previously described Rashford as an “unbelievable” player, and a fresh start could help him rediscover his best form.
Despite Tottenham’s interest, Rashford reportedly favors a move to Barcelona. However, the Catalan giants are facing financial difficulties, struggling to create space for him within their squad and wage structure. These challenges could jeopardize the transfer, leaving Rashford without a clear path to La Liga.
This situation gives Tottenham a chance to step in, but convincing Rashford to swap Manchester for North London remains uncertain. If Spurs succeed, they would not only bolster their attack but also make a significant statement in the transfer market. The final days of the window will determine whether Rashford finds a new home or continues to endure a frustrating spell on the sidelines.
