Emmanuel Petit suggests that Arsenal should think about signing Marcus Rashford from Manchester United, as long as he addresses any personal issues first. Last season, Rashford performed at a world-class level for United but has been inconsistent this campaign, scoring only seven goals in 34 games. His personal life has overshadowed his on-field success this season, with media attention focusing on him rather than United’s performance. United may follow recommendations from Ralf Rangnick. Ten Hag has indicated that he is open to adapting to the new system. When he is performing at his peak, the England player is still considered one of the top players in the Premier League and would be a great asset for any team needing more offensive power. Arsenal, in particular, is seeking to add another forward to their roster this summer, and former player Petit believes that Rashford would be a strong choice for the team. Petit stated, “Marcus Rashford could definitely be a valuable addition to Arsenal.” My main concern would be regarding his mental state and mindset. He performed exceptionally well last season for an extended period, but this season Marcus Rashford has not been able to replicate that form. I believe he is quite sensitive and needs to strike a balance between his personal and professional life – once he achieves this, he will excel once again. We are familiar with his abilities and talents, but I am questioning whether he has the mental capacity to meet the expectations of his potential. He requires assistance to consistently perform at a higher level and requires peace of mind from his representatives. I was told from France that he has faced personal challenges recently. I experienced the same struggle as a player, I found that I could not perform well unless my personal life was in order. Earlier this season, there were rumors connecting Rashford to a potential transfer to Arsenal.
