Jamie O’Hara admitted he would “love” to see Marcus Rashford join Tottenham despite his lackluster season at Old Trafford.
The 26-year-old only scored eight goals for the Red Devils across all competitions in the 2023/24 season, 22 fewer than in the previous season.

Due to his form, he was also not included in the England squad for Euro 2024, with Gareth Southgate opting instead to include players such as Phil Foden, Anthony Gordon and Eberechi Eze.
However, this did not stop former Tottenham midfielder and The Pitch Prospect presenter Jamie O’Hara from calling for Rashford to move to London.
“I have a soft spot for Rashford,” O’Hara said on The Pitch Prospect Breakfast.
“I don’t know why because watching him last season I was so frustrated. When he’s running around at Luton you think, come on mate, give me more, but he’s got star quality.
“He has that certain something and if you find a coach who gets the best out of him, you get a top player.
Rashford’s relationship with Man United manager Erik ten Hag has also been turbulent, with the winger’s decision to go to a nightclub after the 3-0 derby defeat to Man City in October being described by Ten Hag at the time as “unacceptable”.
“He doesn’t get along with Erik ten Hag, that’s a problem they have to solve,” O’Hara added.
“You can’t have someone who earns £375,000 a week just sitting on the bench, doing nothing, not playing, not being involved. He has to play, you have to find a way to get him in the team.”

“He makes brilliant runs but never gets the ball. Would you pay £80m for him? Yes I would, I would love to see him at Tottenham.”
Marcus Rashford has been playing for Man United since he was seven years old and made his first-team debut in a game against Midtjylland in 2016.
Last season (23/24) he scored just seven Premier League goals, provided two assists and played 681 minutes fewer than the season before.
Whether United would consider selling Rashford to a Premier League club is another question.
