One of Manchester United’s attackers could end up reuniting with one of his old teammates depending on the outcome of a bidding war.

Marcus Rashford has played seven of the first eight Premier League games for Manchester United this season, getting one goal and one assist in the process. However, a number of other clubs are now keen on securing his services.

NationalWorld has previously reported that Paris Saint-Germain were interested in the 26-year-old Englishman, but a move elsewhere could see him reunite with a teammate who left Old Trafford under a dark grey cloud.

According to Teamtalk, Bayern Munich and Olympique Marseille have also joined the race to sign the attacker; if he joins the latter, he would be linking up once again with 23-year-old striker Mason Greenwood.

Greenwood was arrested in January 2022, but charges of attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm were dropped the following year by the Crown Prosecution Service after key witnesses withdrew their co-operation. An internal review by Man United concluded that the club believed he had not committed the offences, but a fan backlash meant he never played for the Red Devils again.

Since the start of this season, Greenwood has scored six goals in eight appearances.

Young playmaker attracts Premier League interest

For 20-year-old Oscar Gloukh, this season could not have started much better. The Israeli playmaker has become a shining light at Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg, bagging five goals and two assists in the first seven games.

The club has a reputation for developing future superstars - having recently brought a striker called Erling Haaland through their ranks. Now, Gloukh is positioning himself as the next big thing, and Premier League clubs are starting to take notice.

Caught Offside has reported that at least three teams - Arsenal, Aston Villa and Newcastle - are all keeping tabs on Gloukh, who himself is also open to a Premier League move. Elsewhere in Europe, Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid have also been monitoring his progress.

Could Gloukh follow in Haaland’s footsteps by going to Dortmund before joining Manchester City in the future, or will he bypass that step and move straight to the Prem? He certainly has the talent to do so, it more depends on clubs paying his €35m price tag.
