Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara has strongly advised his former club to pursue Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford this summer, even suggesting they 'break the bank' for him.
O'Hara believes that Tottenham could secure an incredibly advantageous deal for Rashford, a player who has spent recent seasons out on loan at Aston Villa and Barcelona. This speculation arises from reports indicating that Manchester United are eager to reduce their wage bill and are looking to offload Rashford.
His future at Old Trafford appears uncertain, particularly under the management of head coach Michael Carrick. Despite a challenging period at his parent club, Rashford has shown flashes of his brilliance during his loan spells. He was notably instrumental in Barcelona's successful La Liga campaign.
Furthermore, his impressive performances have led to a recall to the England squad for the upcoming 2026 World Cup. He marked his return to the national team with a goal, demonstrating that his talent remains potent.
O'Hara is convinced that Tottenham possesses the leverage to negotiate a favourable transfer fee, with the possibility of him even moving on a free transfer, given United's apparent willingness to let him go. He remains adamant that, despite his recent struggles, Rashford is a 'top drawer' talent who would undoubtedly excel at Tottenham.
The former Spurs player highlighted Rashford's proven ability and potential impact, suggesting that his acquisition would be a significant coup for the North London club. He believes that the 26-year-old forward still has much to offer at the highest level of the game.
O'Hara's comments come at a time when Tottenham are looking to strengthen their attacking options. The potential availability of a player with Rashford's pedigree, coupled with a potentially low transfer fee, makes this a proposition worth serious consideration for the club's hierarchy.
Ultimately, the former midfielder's plea is for Tottenham to act decisively and recognize the opportunity to sign a player who, in his view, could become a transformative figure for the team, reigniting his career in a new environment.
