admin An Arsenal hero has called on Mikel Arteta to come to Marcus Rashford’s rescue by signing the out-of-form Manchester United star, highlighting Kai Havertz as a case study.
Emmanuel Petit wants Marcus Rashford to sign for Arsenal “right now”.
The Gunners hero, who won the league and cup double in 1997/98, has urged Mikel Arteta to buy Manchester United’s struggling forward this summer. Petit believes Rashford is “miserable” after enduring a low-scoring season where his on-pitch performances and off-field behaviour have come under scrutiny.
While he was undoubtedly United’s star player throughout the previous 2022/23 campaign, the Englishman’s dismal form has led to rumours surrounding his potential exit in the upcoming transfer window. At 26, with his best years still ahead of him, Petit believes Arsenal is the perfect destination for Rashford to turnaround his fortunes.
The Frenchman highlighted similarities between Rashford and Kai Havertz’s gloomy three years at Chelsea. Having looked a shadow of himself in west London, the German has become a fan-favourite at the Emirates Stadium over the course of the season, netting 13 league goals.
