Spursvs.Man Utd

Postecoglou is currently preparing his Spurs squad for the EFL Cup quarter-final between the clubs that takes place in North London on Thursday night.

However, Rashford has been a hot topic of conversation in recent days, aided by his revelation on Tuesday that he is ready to take on a new challenge away from Old Trafford.

United boss Ruben Amorim has since suggested that he wants to keep the England international at the Theatre of Dreams in order to get the best out of the long-serving attacker.

Nevertheless, there is likely to be widespread interest in the 27-year-old should he be made available for transfer in January.

"Don't care"

Once Rashford's name was mentioned at a press conference on Wednesday, Postecoglou soon indicated that he was not prepared to discuss the development at length.

As quoted by football.london, he said: "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."

Would Rashford be a realistic signing for Spurs?

Although Rashford holds a contract until 2028, United will have to be prepared to reach a compromise over a fee if they decide that they are open to a sale.

Given their need to improve their situation with the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability regulations, there is a likelihood that they will be should Amorim push to make wholesale changes to his squad.

Whether Rashford is a realistic target for Spurs remains to be seen. With an array of foreign clubs monitoring the situation, much will depend on whether the player sees his future in England or abroad.

That said, with the futures of the likes of Richarlison and Timo Werner in doubt, Postecoglou could plausibly be in the market for an alternative versatile forward.
