Lee Dixon believes that when he\u2019s at his best, Marcus Rashford is a perfect fit for Arsenal.<\/p>\n

The forward, valued at \u00a335 million by Transfermarkt<\/a>, will be leaving Manchester United this summer, and it isn\u2019t a guarantee that he\u2019ll be joining Barcelona permanently.<\/p>\n

While the player is keen to stay put at Camp Nou after a successful season, the decision is out of his hands.<\/p>\n

The La Liga champions will have to shell out the full fee to United in the coming weeks, or else he will return to Carrington for pre-season while an alternative move is explored.<\/p>\n

How Rashford has fared in Catalonia<\/p>\n

Hansi Flick and the board are delighted with the impact Rashford has had on their season<\/a>, though.<\/p>\n

In 48 appearances for the Blaugrana, he has returned a hugely impressive 14 goals and 14 assists across all competitions.<\/p>\n

His stellar free-kick conversion against Real Madrid last Sunday helped Barcelona on their way to confirming their status as league winners, having also won the Spanish Super Cup via an El Cl\u00e1sico victory back in January.<\/p>\n

What Dixon had to say about Rashford<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen whether anything could materialise between Rashford and the Gunners, or even if he\u2019d even be open to representing one of United\u2019s direct Premier League rivals after spending his entire career (21 years) on their books.<\/p>\n

Rashford\u2019s complete record for United<\/p>\n

Dixon, despite admiring the 28-year-old\u2019s capabilities, does have his reservations over a potential transfer.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing an ex-Manchester United player, Marcus Rashford to Arsenal doesn\u2019t sit well with me because I don\u2019t really like United,\u201d the pundit told BOYLE Sports, as relayed by the Metro<\/a>. \u201cBut as a player, I\u2019ve always been a big fan of his.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, he dropped off his levels. What happened at the end of his United career was unfortunate. It didn\u2019t end particularly well. He flitted in and out of the Barcelona set-up.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a player on his day that is absolutely, you know, he\u2019s an absolute Arsenal player; he\u2019s got pace, he\u2019s direct.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, I\u2019m not sure you can trust him, so I think Arsenal could do better.\u201d<\/p>\n
