Juventus considering bid for Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford?

Juventus are reportedly monitoring the progress of Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford ahead of a potential bid for the England international.

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has reportedly emerged as a potential transfer target for Juventus.

Rashford has come through the academy setup at Old Trafford to establish himself as part of the first-team squad, with 34 goals being scored from 82 starts and 54 substitute appearances in all competitions.

However, the 21-year-old has found himself in and out of the side under Jose Mourinho, and it has resulted in the versatile attacker being linked with a future move away from the Premier League giants.

According to The Times, Juventus are interested in Rashford and have started to consider an approach for the England international in the future.

Rashford is effectively tied to United until 2021 - with United possessing the option to extend the player's deal past 2020 - but he is unlikely to consider penning another contract unless he receives regular starts for the North-West club.

The report suggests that Juventus have begun to take an interest in Rashford's qualities both on and off the pitch.
