Marcus Rashford ‘wanted on loan by Tottenham’ as clubs line up for Man Utd star and agent jets to Italy

TOTTENHAM are considering a shock loan move for Marcus Rashford, according to reports.

The 27-year-old has not featured in any of Manchester United‘s last six games as he eyes an Old Trafford exit.

Rashford is wanted by several sides across Europe but there is also believed to be interest from closer to home.

The Daily Mail are reporting that Tottenham would like to bring him in on loan this month after The Athletic claimed an unnamed Premier League side were weighing up a bid.

Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou was asked about the possibility of signing Rashford back in December and he gave little away, saying: “If I looked at everyone we were linked to, I would have no time to do anything else to be honest.

“For us, we’ve been pretty disciplined in what we’re trying to build here and we’ll continue to be so.

“You can ask me about Marcus but you can ask me about every single Premier League footballer and I’ll say the same thing.”

Spurs are looking to bolster their attacking options in Rashford’s position, having been linked with PSG star Randal Kolo Muani.

United‘s wantaway England star is also on the radar of AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund.

Rashford’s agent and brother Dwaine has reportedly flown to Italy to discuss a switch to the Serie A giants.

Any move away will supposedly depend on how much of his £325,000-a-week wages United are prepared to pay.

An option or obligation to buy could also be inserted into a deal as United are open to permanently offloading Rashford.

United could also sell Kobbie Mainoo this month amid interest from Chelsea as he is another homegrown player.

Cash raised from their sales would help ease pressure to comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules.

Rashford revealed his intention to leave United last month, saying: “For me, personally, I think I’m ready for a new challenge and the next steps.

“When I leave it’s going to be, ‘No hard feelings.’

“You’re not going to have any negative comments from me about Manchester United. That’s me as a person.

“If I know that a situation is already bad I’m not going to make it worse.

“I’ve seen how other players have left in the past and I don’t want to be that person.

“When I leave, I’ll make a statement, and it will be from me.”

Nearly half of Brits eat breakfast on the job – with a third holding meetings over the most important meal of the day

NEARLY half of Brits now have a ‘working breakfast’ – with a third of these even holding meetings over the most important meal of the day.

Research of 2,000 adults found 47 per cent devote a mere 10 minutes or less to the meal.

Three quarters (76 per cent) multi-task during breakfast either with work, emails, scrolling social media feeds or sorting the kids out for school, with 12 per cent skipping it altogether.

And four in 10 grab breakfast on the go – with Gen Z the worst culprit for this, averaging three brisk brekkies a week.

The research was commissioned by Kellogg’s as part of its ‘The Great British Breakfast Audit’ to mark the launch of a new campaign ‘See you in the morning’ featuring its iconic mascot, Cornelius the cockerel, which celebrates the unique ways everyone approaches mornings.

It emerged 56 per cent eat breakfast alone, as 45 per cent of these find it difficult to sit down with their family because of their staggered starts.

While 24 per cent eat the same breakfast every single day, with cereal (38 per cent) the most common choice, 18 per cent take toast and just seven per cent regularly have a full English breakfast.

To accompany their food, Northerners are more likely to have a cup of tea, while Southerners prefer coffee. 

The research also looked into morning routines, with 28 per cent hitting the snooze button two or more times every morning, rising to 60 per cent of those aged between 18 and 24.

A third (32 per cent) would skip going to the gym or making the bed (31 per cent), and 19 per cent would prefer to have an extra few minutes’ sleep than have a shower.

In fact, 35 per cent have gone more than three days without a shower to get that little bit of extra shut eye.

Despite this, 48 per cent identify as a “morning person” with men (51 per cent) more likely than women (44 per cent) to call themselves early risers.

And Londoners (58 per cent) have the highest percentage of self-proclaimed ‘morning people’.

The study also found 44 per cent feel their morning routine sets them up for success.

As a result, 25 per cent avoid social media due to its potential to negatively affect their mood and stress levels, and 21 per cent actively avoid the news because it’s too bleak.

When they do get to sit down to breakfast with their family, 23 per cent said the weather is their most frequent conversation starter, followed by discussions about current events (19 per cent) and homework (nine per cent). 

But 36 per cent never speak to anyone at breakfast, and for 24 per cent the morning meal affords a ‘quiet space’ free from digital devices.

Emily Dutton, brand activation manager at Kellogg’s said: “These findings show just how unique our mornings are.

“Our Great British Breakfast Audit reveals that while some of us prefer quick and on-the-go, others rely on breakfast as peaceful ‘me’ time.

“Kellogg’s has been waking people up for 106 years – we ‘get’ mornings.

“It’s never been clearer that we all need ‘you do you’ time to start the day off right, and our audit shows that our morning habits are just as diverse as our breakfast choices.”
