Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou has spoken about Marcus Rashford amid the uncertainty over his Manchester United future. Speculation surrounding Rashford’s future increased this week after he was left out of United’s matchday squad for the derby win over rivals Manchester City. On Tuesday night, journalist Henry Winter posted his interview with Rashford, during which he asked the Englishman whether he is staying or going. Rashford went on to reply: “For me, personally, I think I’m ready for a new challenge and the next steps.” As a result, with the January transfer window on the horizon, Rashford has been linked with a host of different clubs around the globe. Despite not being directly linked with the North London club, Spurs boss Postecoglou was asked about Rashford ahead of their Carabao Cup tie against United. The Australian said: “No interest, don’t care, no interest. He’s a Man United player, a very good player, they’ve got plenty of good players. “But I manage my players and I guess other managers will manage their own players. In terms of Marcus’ situation, I have no real desire to examine it any further.” When pushed on whether Spurs would consider a move for Rashford, Postecoglou added: “Oh, mate, if I looked at everyone who we were linked to I’d have no time to do anything else, to be honest. I’ve got other people to do that part of the process. “For us, we’ve been pretty disciplined in terms of what we’re trying to build here and will continue to be so. You can ask me about Marcus, but you could ask me about any Premier League footballer, I’m going to say the same thing.” Marcus Rashford new club latest odds Odds were correct at the time of writing via Sky Bet Paris Saint Germain – 11/4 Any Saudi Pro League Club – 11/2 Arsenal – 9/1 Any MLS Club – 10/1 Chelsea – 12/1 Barcelona – 14/1 Bayern Munich – 16/1 Juventus – 25/1 Real Madrid – 25/1

While the name of Ivan Fresneda has been gaining weight, Barça are still monitoring the situation of Cancelo at Manchester City with a view to taking him on loan for the next season.
The Portuguese international has fallen out of favour with Pep Guardiola and does not have a place at the Etihad. And with Bayern Munich confirming that they have decided against signing him permanently, Barcelona have a chance to land the right-back.
However, for that to happen, Cancelo would have to reduce his salary by a significant margin. The 29-year-old currently earns around €8 million per year and would need to accept a wage cut, something that the Blaugrana can negotiate with his agent Jorge Mendes.
Barcelona’s plan is to sign Cancelo on loan with an option to purchase permanently next year. However, Manchester City would prefer to offload him permanently right away rather than loaning him out for a year, which would be another hurdle for the Catalans.
As such, alternatives such as the aforementioned Fresneda are being looked at, but without losing sight of what happens with Cancelo. Much will depend on the player exits that the Catalans are able to finalise in the coming days and whether the Manchester City outcast is willing to lower his €8 million per year salary.
