Newcastle wants to "rescue" Rashford! Magpie wants to provide the Champions League stage to help him restart his career

According to the Sun, Newcastle United is closely monitoring the future of Marcus Rashford and hopes to rescue the England striker who is in trouble in Manchester United from the "quagmire".

The 27-year-old England international was loaned to Aston Villa in the second half of last season. Now that the loan period has expired, Newcastle hopes to extend an olive branch to him - not only providing a stable opportunity to play, but also giving him a valuable "gift": Champions League qualification.

Rashford himself has always dreamed of joining Barcelona, ​​but the La Liga giants have never shown any substantial interest in him. In contrast, Newcastle seems more active. Sources revealed to the Sun that the Magpies are confident that they can create an ideal stage for Rashford to help him restart his career.

Although Rashford is worth a fortune, Newcastle does not intend to use him as a replacement for existing main center Alexander Isaac. In fact, coach Eddie Howe plans to keep the Swedish striker worth £160 million and is being chased by Arsenal, while Rashford is seen as an ideal candidate to rotate with Isaac.

's current operating idea is that Newcastle hopes to introduce the player with 62 games in the form of a loan, with a loan period of one year. But Manchester United seems to be more inclined to sell directly rather than loaning it again.

Even though Rashford's contract with the Red Devils is still valid and does not expire until 2028, the possibility of his return to Old Trafford is extremely slim.

It is worth mentioning that Rashford performed well when Portugal coach Ruben Amorin took office in November last year, and scored goals in the first two games. However, since December 12, 2023, he has not played for Manchester United again, and was even completely removed from the match day roster for a time.

In January this year, Rashford was loaned to Aston Villa and gradually recovered his form under Emery - scoring 4 goals and 6 assists in 17 games, and the data is quite remarkable. After transferring to Villa, Rashford's overall Premier League data improved last season, but the Manchester-born winger still hopes to return to the Champions League to prepare for restarting his national team career next season and reaching the World Cup lineup.

Newcastle also has corresponding needs. As the Premier League team that will participate in the Champions League next season, they hope to further strengthen the depth of the front line. Callum Wilson, 33, is being watched closely by Everton and Saudi teams, although he may also be able to stay at St James Park Stadium.

At the same time, Chelsea just signed Ipswich forward star Liam Drapp for £30 million, which also made Rashford one of the few "cost-effective and experienced" forward choices on the market.

For Rashford, who is in urgent need of revitalizing his reputation, joining a team with a UEFA Champions League qualification, an open style and a stable tactical system will be a key turning point in his career. For Newcastle, introducing such a player with experience in international competitions and eager to prove himself is the "reinforcement puzzle" they need to move to a higher platform.
