class="p1">Keen to reinforce their options on the left flank this summer, Bayern Munich are considering turning their attention to Marcus Rashford after missing out on Anthony Gordon.

class="p1">The Everton graduate, who’s spent the last three-and-a-half years with Newcastle United, agreed a shock switch to Barcelona this week, rendering Rashford’s future at Camp Nou up in the air.

Gordon and Rashford: What’s the state of play?

class="p1">Barcelona were willing to splurge a whopping £70 million to get a deal over the line with the Magpies, yet have been reluctant to shell out Rashford’s £26m buy clause – despite the on-loan Red overseeing a more prolific campaign in front of goal.

class="p1">Gordon is three years younger than his England counterpart, which is perhaps the driving factor for Hansi Flick and Deco, given that the Blaugrana do boast a young but proven squad.

class="p1">Although Rashford had his heart set on a permanent transfer to Barça when the window opened, a move to Bayern would pose as an equally exciting one, should anything materialise.

Bayern shortlist Rashford following Gordon snub

class="p1">Manchester Evening News’ Steven Railston revealed on Friday that there was a chance of Bayern switching their focus to the Carrington graduate to bolster Vincent Kompany’s squad.

class="p1">Any talks with the player himself will have to happen either in the coming days or after England’s World Cup campaign ends, as his full focus will be on the tournament when the Three Lions kick off their group stage journey against Croatia on June 17.

class="p1">It remains to be seen if United would keep Rashford’s asking price the same in the event his buy option is waived, or whether they would cheekily look to increase their demands based on his form this term.
