Arsenal and Chelsea are reportedly not interested in taking up the opportunity to move for Marcus Rashford, but Atletico Madrid could be an option for the Manchester United striker.
Last year has been more or less difficult for Rashford as he hasn’t been anywhere close to his best, so perhaps it’s no surprise that big names like Arsenal and Chelsea are absent sure it would be worth the risk to sign him.
Still, there’s bound to be some interest in a name as big as Rashford has since announced that he is interested in a new challengeand it seems that Atlético de Madrid could be the most realistic option for the England international.

Marcus Rashford transfer: Can Man United misfit revive career in Spain?
we did the case of Arsenal playing a deal for Rashfordbut even if the Gunners were interested in him, one imagines that United would not be very keen to let him join a rival.
That could also rule out Chelsea, who probably have less need for Rashford anyway due to the presence of the likes of Cole Palmer, Noni Madueke, Pedro Neto, Joao Felix and Jadon Sancho.
So could a move to Spain be just what Rashford needs at this stage of his career?
Indeed, after so many years at Old Trafford, it makes sense that Rashford might feel he just needs a complete change of scenery to keep him motivated.
Playing for another Premier League club may not be enough, so perhaps a move abroad can do something to reignite a fire in Rashford.
Atletico already have another English player in Conor Gallagher, while Kieran Trippier has also been a key player for them in the past.
It looks like it could be a good move for Rashford, and it will be interesting to see if he comes to anything in the coming weeks.
