Rashford is reportedly ‘unhappy’ at Old Trafford
Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is reportedly attracting interest from rivals Liverpool, with the England international ‘unhappy’ at Old Trafford.
As reported by the Manchester Evening News, the 24-year-old’s phone ‘hasn’t stopped ringing’ since it emerged that he was considering his future at the club after he was left out of the Manchester derby defeat at City earlier this month.
Should Rashford make the unlikely move to Merseyside, it would mark the first transfer between the two clubs since Phil Chisnall joined Liverpool in 1964.
However, the report adds that it is ‘highly unlikely’ that the Red Devils would ever allow Rashford to sign for the Reds if they were to allow him to leave Old Trafford.

It is also thought that the Wythenshawe-born attacker is a target for Spanish giants Barcelona, who, as reported by the MEN, have contacted Rashford’s camp to confirm they would be interested in signing the forward.
Rashford’s representatives were previously contacted by the Catalan outfit prior to his four-year contract renewal at Old Trafford in July 2019.
The England international has also been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain, who are preparing for the probable departure of Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid in the summer.
Earlier this week, Rashford – who was dropped from the England squad for the upcoming friendlies – was involved in a confrontation with fans after United’s Champions League exit at the hands of Atletico Madrid.
However, the forward moved to clarify his exchange with the disgruntled supporter outside Old Trafford, claiming the footage being circulated on social media “lacks context”.
