Liverpool eye shock move for Rashford amid uncertain Man Utd future

While no formal approach has been made, the Merseyside club are said to be monitoring the situation closely as the England international's future remains increasingly uncertain.

Rashford is understood to be open to a fresh challenge after a difficult spell at Old Trafford. Despite flashes of form, the 27-year-old has struggled to recapture the consistency that once made him a key figure for club and country — prompting speculation over a potential departure this summer.

The idea of a switch to Liverpool would have been unthinkable in previous years, given the historic rivalry between the two clubs, but with other sides, including Barcelona and Fenerbahce also expressing interest, the forward's next destination is far from clear.

What is certain is that Rashford's name remains on the radar of several top European clubs. Liverpool's interest reflects their desire to refresh their attacking options under new coach Arne Slot, with long-term questions surrounding the future of Mohamed Salah and a broader plan to reshape the squad.

Whether Manchester United would entertain a domestic deal — let alone one with their fiercest rivals — is another matter entirely.
