Manchester United face a difficult decision regarding the future of Marcus Rashford. While the club reportedly aims to facilitate a transfer for the 28-year-old England forward before their August pre-season camp in Dublin, alternative strategies exist to fold him back into Michael Carrick’s squad.
Elsewhere in the Premier League, Arsenal and Tottenham are competing with three other teams to sign 21-year-old Norwegian winger Antonio Nusa from RB Leipzig.

Meanwhile, Juventus is pushing Aston Villa to reduce their 10 million euro asking price for goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, despite already finalizing personal terms with the 33-year-old.
Barcelona is also entering the race for 18-year-old Australian defender Lucas Herrington of the Colorado Rapids, alongside Chelsea, Manchester City, and Manchester United. Lille’s 18-year-old midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi has caught the attention of Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool following his World Cup performance for Morocco.
