  "textContent": "Arsenal want to sign a new left winger this summer (Picture: Getty)\n\nLee Dixon has described Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford as an ‘Arsenal player’ – but is not convinced Mikel Arteta could trust him playing in his team.\n\nAfter an alarming dip in form in recent years, Rashford sought a fresh challenge away from Old Trafford last summer, joining Barcelona on a season-long loan deal.\n\nThat move included an option to buy for £26million with all signs initially suggesting Barcelona would activate that clause and make the arrangement permanent.\n\nBut the Catalan giants, who have recently been crowned champions of La Liga, are reluctant to trigger it and will attempt to negotiate another loan deal.\n\n##  Get ready for the World Cup\n\nGet previews of every single team at the World Cup sent directly to your inbox, featuring the players to look out for, games you shouldn’t miss and Metro’s big England predictions. Don't miss out, sign up here.\n\nBarcelona are also said to have attempted to agree a lower fee with United, something the Premier League side have no intention of doing.\n\nIt leaves his club future in doubt with a return to Manchester now a real possibility at the end of the season.\n\nTottenham have been credited with interest in the England international with there likely to be interest elsewhere back in England.\n\nRashford’s future now looks uncertain (Picture: Getty)\n\nArsenal legend Dixon is an admirer of the 28-year-old, believing his old side would benefit from a quick and direct threat down the left – a position the Gunners are looking to strengthen this summer.\n\nBut the former defender suggests there are elements of Rashford’s game that mean a move to north London simply wouldn’t work.\n\n‘Being an ex-Manchester United player, Marcus Rashford to Arsenal doesn’t sit well with me because I don’t really like United.\n\nDixon believes Arsenal ‘can do better’ (Picture: Getty)\n\n‘But as a player, I’ve always been a big fan of his,’ Dixon told BOYLE Sports, who offer Premier League odds.\n\n‘Obviously, he dropped off his levels. What happened at the end of his United career was unfortunate. It didn’t end particularly well. He flitted in and out of the Barcelona set-up.\n\n‘He’s a player on his day that is absolutely, you know, he’s an absolute Arsenal player in as much as he’s got, you know, he’s got pace, he’s direct.\n\n‘However, I’m not sure you can trust him, so I think Arsenal could do better.’\n\nComment now Comments \nAdd Metro as a Preferred Source on Google\nAdd as preferred source\n",
