Manchester United outcast Marcus Rashford has emerged as a surprise transfer target for Chelsea this summer.
It has been claimed that Chelsea are interested in signing Rashford on loan from their Premier League rivals.
The forward is available following Barcelona’s decision not to turn his loan deal into a permanent one, and Chelsea supporters are now discussing whether they would welcome him to Stamford Bridge.
Anthony Gordon starred for England against Costa Rica but is no longer an option for Chelsea. Which left winger should we now sign? 🤔
Chelsea fans want Marcus Rashford at Stamford Bridge
Rashford continues to divide opinion in English football, with many feeling that he has not fulfilled his potential at United.
However, Chelsea fans seem to be sold on Rashford and would love to have him as a member of their squad.
One Chelsea supporter said: “Not my first or second choice but I’d take him all day. He gets into our starting XI and scores goals.”
Another stated: “Good addition, especially when you add [Alejandro] Garnacho to the deal.”
One TalkingPoints user said: “I would really appreciate him.”
Another posted: “That will be lovely.”

Rashford arriving could pave the way for his former United teammate Alejandro Garnacho to leave the club.
Garnacho struggled at Chelsea last season after scoring just one league goal and is now being linked with a move away from west London.

How would you react to Chelsea signing Marcus Rashford?
Marcus Rashford and Pedro Neto combo could be deadly
If Chelsea do go on to sign Rashford, the 28-year-old is likely to play on the left. It means Chelsea could have a winger pairing of Rashford and Pedro Neto.
Neto can be hit and miss at times, but he is one of the fastest wide men in the Premier League. So is Rashford, so on the counter-attack Chelsea could be absolutely deadly with that combo.

Cole Palmer usually spots the right pass and executes it, while Joao Pedro is a quality finisher. In transition, that forward line could be unstoppable.
Bayern Munich are also said to be interested in Rashford, complicating things for Chelsea. But the England international is a forward worth fighting over.
Out wide, Rashford would be an upgrade on Garnacho and Jamie Gittens, while he is also a better striker than Liam Delap, Marc Guiu and Emmanuel Emegha.
