Tottenham, West Ham and numerous European clubs have been linked with Marcus Rashford this month.

Spurs and the Hammers are keen on Rashford, but, the clock is ticking to get any sort of deal done.

Marcus Rashford has only a few days left to get a move away from Manchester United.

Rashford wants to leave Manchester United, he made that much clear earlier this month, while Ruben Amorim seemingly has no time for Rashford either.

Indeed, Amorim recently said he’d rather have his goalkeeping coach on his bench than Rashford right now.

The attacker needs to get a move, and he does have a few options on the table.

Rashford wants to join Barcelona, while Tottenham are keen on Rashford too.

Speaking on TalkSPORT, Ben Jacobs has been discussing Rashford’s situation, and he says that there could be a late surprise regarding the England international still.

Al-Ahli could be back in for Marcus Rashford

Jacobs spoke about Rashford’s options towards the end of the transfer window.

The journalist says that there could be a surprise in store in this final week, claiming that Al-Ahli could be set to make a late move for the Manchester United ace.

“Then don’t rule out as a bit of a surprise, even though he’s said no repeatedly, Al-Ahli coming back in with a late offer and saying to Rashford, you don’t have an option in Europe, now will you reconsider Saudi vs staying at Manchester United,” Jacobs said.

“I don’t see the player changing his mind, but Al-Ahli still want a left-sided attacker, so keep an eye on them as a dark horse if that move to Barcelona doesn’t come off.”

Former Premier League players at Al-Ahli

Al-Ahli could make a move for Rashford at the end of the transfer window, and if Rashford does end up at Al-Ahli, he’ll be surrounded by a few familiar faces.

Indeed, Al-Ahli have a few players already in their squad who have played Premier League football.

There may be a few awkward conversations between Marcus Rashford and Roberto Firmino if this deal goes ahead. After all, they spent years as rivals at Liverpool and Manchester United respectively.

Meanwhile, Rashford already has something of a working relationship with Ivan Toney having spent time in the same England squad as Toney last year, albeit the two didn’t play together.

As for Edouard Mendy, Rashford has played against the former Chelsea man on a number of occasions, and he has quite a poor record.

Rashford isn’t keen on a move to Saudi, but as we edge closer to the end of the window, the attacker’s options are dwindling, and a move to the middle east may end up being his only viable option.
