Juventus to bid £65m for Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford?

A report claims that Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford is a transfer target for Juventus, who are prepared to go as high as £65m with their offer.

Juventus are prepared to offer Manchester United up to £65m to sign striker Marcus Rashford, according to a report.

The England international has struggled for regular starts since Jose Mourinho arrived at Old Trafford in May 2016 and has been publicly criticised by his manager in the past.

Rashford played 52 times for United in all competitions last season, scoring 13 times, but 23 of his Premier League and Champions League appearances came from the bench.

After impressing for England in their 3-2 win over Spain on Monday evening, The Sun suggests that the 20-year-old may be offered a route out of United.

Juventus are said to be casting admiring glances at Rashford and are now prepared to follow up their interest with a concrete offer, although the Red Devils are likely to rebuff any bids for a player who still has two years to run on his existing deal, with the option of extending that by a further 12 months.
