Newcastle United reportedly want Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford.

Newcastle United are among the clubs reported to be interested in Marcus Rashford, with Everton and Leicester City also claimed to want the Manchester United forward this summer.

According to The Daily Mail, Premier League trio Newcastle, Everton and Leicester all are interested in signing Rashford on a season-long loan deal from United in the summer transfer window.

Rashford is one of the best young forwards in the world and is part of the England squad for the 2018 World Cup finals in Russia this summer.

The 20-year-old is an established member of Jose Mourinho’s first-team squad at United, but the young forward is not guaranteed a place in the starting lineup.

The England international, who earns £80,000 per week as salary according to The Sun, started 17 Premier League matches for United last season and 16 during the 2016-17 campaign.

Rafael Benitez’s Newcastle side need a proven goalscorer who can get 15 to 20 goals in a season in order to have a successful season, and Rashford would be a great signing for the Magpies.

Newcastle fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation linking the club with Rashford.
