Manchester United look to have already learnt of Marcus Rashford’s transfer stance on a move to Fenerbahce in the final days of the summer window
Marcus Rashford is said to have no interest in leaving Manchester United for Fenerbahce. Following their Champions League qualification, the Turkish club are looking to make a statement signing with Rashford at the very top of their transfer wish list.
Despite Barcelona turning down the chance to sign him permanently after a successful loan spell, the 28-year-old still looked set to move on permanently. However, he has been welcomed back into the fold by Michael Carrick and made his first competitive appearance for United in just over 18 months last Saturday.
Rashford was introduced at half-time against Hull City and though he failed to make an impact, Carrick has been left impressed. A departure in the final days of is still a possibility but Rashford has no plans to accept any approach from Fenerbahce, according to The Sun.
Arsenal have also been linked for a move for Rashford in recent days, particularly as Gabriel Martinelli is set to join Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal. The Gunners appear to have sanctioned the move despite having no replacement in the process of coming in.
That may be because Atletico Madrid star Julian Alvarez has been their focus recently, with his dream switch to Barcelona appearing unlikely to materialise as Diego Simeone’s side have no plans to sell to their La Liga rivals.
Hansi Flick’s side are yet to find a successor for Robert Lewandowski but have invested heavily in Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyeim rather than pursuing Rashford.
Amad’s injury is likely to lead to increased playing time for Rashford, who is also capable of operating centrally. Benjamin Sesko is anticipated to feature in the starting line-up against Ipswich Town this weekend following his return from injury with a brief appearance last weekend.
Joshua Zirkzee is the alternative option who can be utilised as the forward, but he appears poised to depart in the closing stages of the window, with Fiorentina in discussions to bring him back to Italy on a season-long loan.

United have predominantly concentrated on strengthening their midfield this summer, with Youri Tielemans, Andrey Santos and Carlos Baleba arriving, and further business remains on the cards with Toby Collyer set to join West Brom.
A new left-back has been targeted by United with the likes of Joaquin Seys, Jorge Salinas and Alejandro Balde linked after Newcastle made it clear they would not be selling Lewis Hall.
Myles Lewis-Skelly, who can prefers to play in midfield over left-back, also emerged of interest but that move became unlikely once Baleba was signed from Brighton.
