"Give me the paper, let me sign it for him" – Emmanuel Petit insists Arsenal transfer would be 'perfect' for Manchester United star

Ex-Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit has claimed that Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford could restart his career should he move to the Emirates Stadium outfit this summer.

Rashford, 26, has endured a tough campaign for the Red Devils, scoring just eight times in 42 matches across all competitions. He even got involved in an altercation with a fan before the start of his team's 3-2 Premier League win against Newcastle United this month.

Speaking on betting website BoyleSports, Petit asserted that Rashford could prove to be a great signing for Mikel Arteta's side in the summer transfer window. He said (h/t Metro):

"I know Kai Havertz has improved massively at Arsenal, but it's difficult to say whether Arteta could do the same with Rashford if he moved to the club. However, I have no doubt that Rashford needs a new start and I think Arsenal could be perfect him."

Likening Rashford to Gunners midfielder Kai Havertz, Petit continued:

"We all know the quality of Rashford for what he's done in years at Manchester United, but everyone questioned Havertz and his position when he moved from Chelsea. Would Rashford be good at Arsenal? Give me the paper and let me sign it for him!"

Sharing further thoughts on the Red Devils youth product, Petit added:

"Rashford in a good environment would be incredible for the Gunners as they all look miserable at Manchester United. I saw what happened with the fan and I understand his frustration, so if he wants to leave, he's more than welcome. Havertz was in a strange environment at Chelsea and he wasn't happy, but he has smiled again and I can finally see his teeth. I want that for Rashford."

Ajax man opines on future, names Arsenal and Manchester United as teams he likes

During a chat with Dutch news outlet NOS Jeugdjournaal, Ajax star Brian Brobbey was queried which club he would like to play for in the near future. The 22-year-old replied (h/t Metro):

"Arsenal, I think that is a very nice club... if you look at that stadium. A very nice club, but that also applies to Manchester United, Barcelona, and Real Madrid. I have a contract until 2027. At the moment, I am just with Ajax."

Brobbey, 22, helped Ajax finish fifth in the Eredivisie table this season, contributing 22 goals and 12 assists in 43 games across competitions.

Meanwhile, both the Gunners and the Red Devils are on the hunt for a new striker with Alexander Isak and Benjamin Sesko on their wishlist.
