Report: Man United player 'won’t be an easy deal' for Tottenham | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur have long been linked with a move for Marcus Rashford, the talented Manchester United forward.

The 27-year-old has reportedly expressed his desire to leave Old Trafford, sparking speculation about a potential move to North London.

However, while Spurs supporters have been vocal about their wish to see Rashford don the Lilywhite shirt, the reality of such a transfer happening seems increasingly unlikely.

Ange Postecoglou, the Spurs manager, has dampened hopes of a January move, suggesting that any potential signing of Rashford is far from feasible.

With financial barriers and wage demands proving to be significant hurdles, it looks like the deal might not materialise anytime soon.

Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, former footballer and expert Paul Robinson made it clear that a move for Rashford would be near impossible for Tottenham, especially in the immediate future.

"It won’t happen – absolutely no chance," Robinson said. "He’ll cost far too much and his wages will be a huge problem."

Robinson acknowledges Rashford’s undeniable talent but highlights the complications surrounding his hefty contract with Manchester United.

"Marcus is 27 years old now, sat with a hefty contract, so it won’t be an easy deal for anyone to do." Robinson added.

While Rashford has expressed interest in seeking a new challenge, the high cost of securing such a player during the January transfer window makes it an improbable scenario for Spurs.

Despite the difficulties, Robinson does express his disappointment at seeing a player of Rashford's quality not playing regularly for Manchester United.

"From an England point of view, it’s a shame not to see him play every week because he’s a top-quality player," he remarked.

Is it possible to see Marcus Rashford at Tottenham?

However, the prospect of Tottenham splashing the cash to secure a deal seems unlikely, given the financial expectations that would come with the move.

While Rashford has long been considered one of the brightest talents in English football, his current situation at Manchester United, coupled with his high wage demands, makes him an unrealistic signing for Tottenham.

Daniel Levy, known for his financial caution, would likely hesitate to break the bank for a player with such a steep price tag.

Despite being a proven Premier League forward, Rashford’s possible move to Tottenham seems out of reach for now.

His performances, when at his best, make him a desirable player, but the financial implications are hard to ignore.

If Tottenham were to pursue such a deal, it would certainly have to be in the summer when the circumstances might be more favourable. For now, a January move remains highly unlikely.
