Ange Postecoglou gives verdict on potential Tottenham transfer for Marcus Rashford

Ange Postecoglou has insisted he simply "does not care" about Marcus Rashford's increasingly uncertain future at Manchester United.

Following reports he had been made available for transfer, Rashford went public with his desire to seek "a new challenge", which immediately sparked significant speculation surrounding his next destination.

Among those touted as suitors are Postecoglou's Tottenham Hotspur, and the Spurs boss was asked for his thoughts on the entire situation.

"There's always noise about Manchester United, come on mate," he laughed. "Where have you been?

"No interest. Don't care. Not interested. He is a Manchester United player. A very good player, they have plenty of good players, but I manage my players and other managers will manage their own players.

"In terms of Marcus' situation, I have no real desire to examine it any further. If I looked at everyone we were linked to, I would have no time to do anything else to be honest. I have got other people to do that part of the process.

"For us, we've been pretty disciplined in what we're trying to build here and we'll continue to be so."

Further pushed on whether Rashford could be a potential January transfer target, Postecoglou added: "That's not on my radar. You can ask me about Marcus but you can ask me about every single Premier League footballer and I'll say the same."

Whether Rashford will actually be available for transfer in January remains to be seen. United head coach Ruben Amorim refused to close the door to the 27-year-old and even claimed to interpret the "new challenge" comments as a reference to the new era at Old Trafford under his watch.

If Rashford is to leave United in 2025, reports claim he is likely to favour a move to La Liga.
