Transfer News:
As I sit to write this, my eyes are still in shock over the magnitude of this rumour. Sure, weird things happen in football, but Marcus Rashford moving to Chelsea might be the biggest transfer coup that Chelsea could pull off in their recent history. Actually, Eden Hazard has been regularly touted to make a move away from Chelsea due to the London club’s lack of consistency. It is also believed that the Belgian would have to move to a giant club like FC Barcelona or Real Madrid to fulfil his talent in the bigger stages.
Accordingly, Chelsea will think of the future (for a change) and are devising a plan to rope in Marcus Rashford from their direct rivals Manchester United. They think that the lad is unhappy with his current situation at Old Trafford and wants a move away. According to Chelsea, Rashford wants to play more minutes and hence would prefer a move to Stamford Bridge this summer.
Rashford: The Brightest Young Talent in the EPL
When Rashford broke into the scene in February 2016, he injected a lot of pace and an unpredictability factor in the final third for Manchester United. His brutal direct approach, combined with his ability to run past defenders with utmost ease helps him create unrest in the opposition half. He can surely improve upon his finishing a bit, but at his age, Rashford possesses a talent and attitude that no one else can boast of possessing in England at the moment. He is a threat from free-kicks too and has improved his technique and skills in the past couple of seasons.
Will he move to Chelsea?
It is absolutely astonishing to even consider such a move happening in the future. Rashford is a Mancunian and has been a part of the club’s setup since a very young age. The coaching staff has witnessed his development at the club and everyone, including the current manager Jose Mourinho, rates him highly. Rashford has proven his brilliance regularly and even scored a brace in a memorable encounter against Liverpool at Old Trafford. Moreover, owing to his exceptional talent and regular promising performances, Rashford has become a fan-favourite at Old Trafford.
The sight of him piercing the opposition defence and taming the fullbacks from the flanks is one to cherish at Old Trafford. Even the board sees a lot of potential in the lad and apparently, Rashford has been the most used player in Jose Mourinho’s term, though he makes a number of appearances from the bench. He along with Jesse Lingard and Paul Pogba are all products of United’s famed academy and the trio will form the crux of the team in the future. Rashford is just 20 and needs to refine his game a bit to be guaranteed a starting spot. However, the future lies at Old Trafford for the lad.
