Owen’s case is built around Arsenal’s search for an option on the left side of attack. Rashford’s pace and ability to threaten from wide areas could give Mikel Arteta another profile to work with, though fitting into the manager’s system would be only part of the equation. Any move would also depend on Manchester United’s willingness to negotiate and the player’s own preference.
Owen also said: “Consigo ver esse movimento acontecendo e fazendo sentido, já que o Arsenal procura um atacante pelo lado esquerdo. Ele se encaixaria bem nos planos de Arteta e trabalharia bem com o restante do elenco.” His comments make Arsenal a plausible destination, not a confirmed one.
Rashford has returned to Old Trafford after spending the previous season on loan at Barcelona, which did not complete a permanent deal. Reports say his future at United is still unresolved, with Fenerbahce also among the clubs interested. The Turkish side is reportedly prepared to make a significant investment, but no transfer has been confirmed.
For Arsenal, Rashford could offer an experienced option in an area Owen believes needs attention. For United, the decision is whether to reintegrate him or pursue a sale while interest remains. Those choices may depend on the club’s plans for its attack as well as the terms available.
The coming weeks should clarify whether Arsenal turn Owen’s suggestion into a formal approach. Until then, Rashford’s return to United leaves the transfer story open, with Arsenal and Fenerbahce among the potential next chapters.
