Man City boss Pep Guardiola is convinced he can lure Man Utd forward Marcus Rashford to the Etihad Stadium, according to reports.
The Citizens won their fourth consecutive Premier League title under Guardiola when they pipped Arsenal to finish top by two points last season.
There have been rumours that the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager could decide to leave at the end of the season when his contract at the Citizens expires.
It is unclear whether Guardiola will renew his contract at or not before the end of the season but there s been speculation that the Citizens hierarchy want him to decide his future before Christmas.
But, if reports in Spain are to be believed, then Guardiola is very much committed to the Man City cause for next season as he wants to steal a player from their arch-rivals Man Utd.
Rashford, who has been having a bad time over the past 12 months at Old Trafford, scored 30 goals in all competitions in 2022/23 but could only eight last term.
The England international was just one of a number of Man Utd players who were poor under Erik ten Hag in the 2023/24 campaign but Guardiola is confident he is the man to reinvigorate Rashford s career.
A report in Spain suggests that Rashford could commit the maximum betrayal by deciding to join Man City in the summer.
