Real Madrid eyeing Man Utd striker Marcus Rashford

Real Madrid are eyeing Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford.

Sport says Real are ready to consider a summer bid to sign Rashford as his playing opportunities under Jose Mourinho continue to be limited.

The 20-year-old has emerged as a potential target for club president Florentino Perez as he looks to revamp his attack ahead of next season.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema are both on the wrong side of 30 while Gareth Bale has been linked with a return to the Premier League, particularly with regard to Old Trafford.

Young, exciting and potentially world-class, Rashford ticks all the boxes for Zinedine Zidane's side and Perez is hoping to take advantage of the England international's lack of playing time under Mourinho as well as his affection for Ronaldo.
