Tottenham are reportedly interested in making a move to sign one Manchester United star if they avoid relegation from the Premier League this season.
With Roberto De Zerbi’s side battling to remain in England’s top flight, currently sitting in the bottom three, with just a few weeks remaining of the season
A win over Wolves on Saturday boosted their chances of survival, but unfortunately for them, West Ham also secured three points against Everton.
Avoiding the drop will be crucial for the north London club for multiple reasons, especially in the transfer market.
Tottenham are going to struggle to attract the profile of player they are usually targeting if they are plying their trade in the Championship next season.
Tottenham Plotting Man Utd Transfer
According to a report from Spanish outlet Sport, Tottenham are one of the sides showing an interest in signing Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford in the Summer transfer window.
Barcelona have an agreement to sign the England international for a £26 million fee following his loan spell, but there is no guarantee they will decide to sign him on a permanent basis.
Spurs have now entered the race to secure his signature, but it relies on them avoiding relegation from the Premier League this campaign.
Tottenham’s interest in Rashford, who reportedly earns £300,000-a-week, is described as genuine, and they could look to take advantage of Barcelona weighing up a decision.
Rashford Might be Aiming Higher
Unfortunately for Tottenham, Rashford might be aiming a little higher in the summer transfer window if he doesn’t complete a move to Barcelona.
The United loanee has flourished on loan in Spain this season, so a move to a Champions League club feels a little more likely.
Tottenham won’t be competing in any European competitions next season, which could damage their chances of winning the race to secure a Rashford signature.
Spurs are likely to struggle in general to attract high-profile targets even if they manage to avoid the drop to the Championship.
Rashford’s wages could also be a problem for Tottenham, as they are going to have to be careful with finances due to having no Europe.
