Lee Dixon has described Manchester United\u2019s Marcus Rashford as an \u2018Arsenal player\u2019 \u2013 but isn’t convinced Mikel Arteta could trust him playing in his team.<\/p>\n

After an alarming dip in form lately, Rashford sought a fresh challenge away from Old Trafford last summer, joining Barcelona on a season-long loan deal.<\/p>\n

That move included an choice to buy for \u00a326million will all signs initially suggesting Barcelona would activate that clause and make the arrangement everlasting.<\/p>\n

However the Catalan giants are reluctant to trigger it and can try to negotiate one other loan deal.<\/p>\n

Barcelona are also said to have attempted to agree a lower fee with United, something the Premier League side don’t have any intention of doing.<\/p>\n

It leaves his club future doubtful with a return to Manchester now an actual possibility at the tip of the season.<\/p>\n

Tottenham have been credited with interest within the England international should they avoid relegation to the Championship with there prone to be interest elsewhere back in England.<\/p>\n

Arsenal legend Dixon is an admirer of the 28-year-old, believing his old side would profit from a fast and direct threat down the left \u2013 a position the Gunners need to strengthen this summer.<\/p>\n

But the previous defender suggests there are elements of Rashford\u2019s game that mean a move to north London simply wouldn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n

\u2018Being an ex-Manchester United player, Marcus Rashford to Arsenal doesn\u2019t sit well with me because I don\u2019t really like United.<\/p>\n

\u2018But as a player, I\u2019ve all the time been a giant fan of his,\u2019 Dixon told BOYLE Sports, who offer Premier League odds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2018Obviously, he dropped off his levels. What happened at the tip of his United profession was unlucky. It didn\u2019t end particularly well. He flitted out and in of the Barcelona set-up.<\/p>\n

\u2018He\u2019s a player on his day that is totally, , he\u2019s an absolute Arsenal player in as much as he\u2019s got, , he\u2019s got pace, he\u2019s direct.<\/p>\n

\u2018Nevertheless, I\u2019m undecided you’ll be able to trust him, so I believe Arsenal could do higher.\u2019<\/p>\n
