In a move that could shake up the Premier League transfer market, Liverpool are reportedly considering a surprise swoop for Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford.
The England international, who has fallen out of favor at Old Trafford under manager Ruben Amorim, is being viewed as a potential option in Liverpool’s search for a new No. 9.
According to reports from the Daily Mail, Rashford’s name has been floated internally at Anfield, although talks are said to be at a very early stage.
The 26-year-old spent the latter half of last season on loan at Aston Villa and is widely expected to leave United permanently this summer. While Barcelona remains his preferred destination, a move to La Liga has yet to materialize.
Liverpool, under new manager Arne Slot, have already made several high-profile signings, including Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong.
But with their focus now shifting to bolstering the front line, Rashford has emerged as a left-field option should their top target, Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, prove unattainable.
Though Rashford has previously voiced strong feelings about the rivalry with Liverpool, the possibility of resurrecting his career at Anfield may prompt him to reconsider.
