Tottenham told to consider £80m raid on Manchester United to sign Marcus Rashford
Jamie O’Hara admitted he would ‘love to see’ Marcus Rashford at Tottenham despite his lacklustre season at Old Trafford.
The 26-year-old managed just eight goals across all competitions for the Red Devils in the 2023/24 season, 22 fewer than the previous campaign.
His form also saw him miss out on the England squad for Euro 2024 with Gareth Southgate opting to take the likes of Phil Foden, Anthony Gordon, and Eberechi Eze instead.
But that hasn’t stopped former Tottenham midfielder, and talkSPORT host, Jamie O’Hara calling for Rashford to make the London move.
“I’ve got a soft spot for Rashford,” O’Hara said on talkSPORT Breakfast.
“I don't know why because watching him last season frustrated the hell out of me. When he's walking around at Luton and you're thinking come on mate give me more, but he's got star quality.

“He's got the X-factor and if you get a manager who gets the best out of him you're going to get a top player.
Rashford has also endured a turbulent relationship with Man United manager Erik ten Hag. The winger's decision to go to a nightclub after October's 3-0 derby defeat to Man City was branded 'unacceptable' by Ten Hag at the time.
“He doesn't get on with Erik ten Hag, that's a problem that they've got to solve," O'Hara added.
"You can't have someone on £375,000-a-week just sitting on the bench not doing anything and not featuring and not being involved. He's got to play, you've got to find a way of getting him in the team.
“He makes brilliant runs, but never gets the ball. Would you pay £80m for him? Yes I would, I would love to see him at Tottenham.”
Marcus Rashford has been at Man United since he was seven years old and debuted for the first team in 2016 in a game against Midtjylland.

Last season (23/24) he scored just seven Premier League goals, provided two assists and played 681 fewer minutes than the campaign before.
Whether United would consider selling Rashford to a Premier League club is another matter.
