This is Tuesday's United Daily Podcast. I'm Wayne Barton with today's news and rumours. Marcus Rashford has had his first serious link to Turkey this morning. Fenerbahce have been linked with a move saying they're going to offer big money for him. I don't expect he'll take it seriously. I don't know how serious the Turkish interest is. I think it might be a sounding out exercise to see if any of these... stories then get any credibility if any moss grows on the rolling stones so to speak I don't think Rashford has any intention of moving to Turkey I still think he I personally think he's got a lot to give at the top level So I can't see how he's not going to think that. I think a move to Turkey will be seen as something of a decline.
United are a little bit reluctant to sell him into the Premier League. They don't want him to come back and bite them. But there's just no offers elsewhere.
Are Turkish clubs really making a serious bid for Marcus Rashford?
Barcelona, I think, have got a lot to answer for, really. They've... played a part in damaging his reputation. They could have just let that long move go. Honestly, this is something I do believe. They could have let the long move go and not tried any stupid games or anything like that. But this taking it down to £10-13 million or whatever it was, something absolutely ridiculous that they'd offered United in the end. They'd already got a good bargain for a player of that calibre, international standard, scoring goals at World Cups, scoring plenty of goals for them and creating plenty of goals as well. Fair enough they don't want him but I think sometimes you can be insulting with what you're offering and if you start doing that then you start messing around with reputations and Barcelona did that.
Barcelona have been doing that for years now. I hope it means that United won't, unless they put the money on the table for Rashford, that they won't entertain any kind of nonsense with them in the future because it's not the way to do business, is it? I can't see that Rashford will accept to move to Turkey, but I do think that the interest from Turkey is a serious fleshing out exercise. So, yeah, they still talk about whether or not he's going to move before the end of the window. It's... A short amount of time, isn't it, for a club to register their interest and for Rashford to get his head around it.
Why might Rashford reject a move to Turkey and how would it affect his career?
We'll see what happens. If they're not a Premier League club, I should say. La Gazzetta dello Sport are saying that Joshua Zergsy has agreed a deal with Juventus, but the deal will be a loan deal. United are hoping to get back most of the 30-plus million that they spent for him, but they're not going to do that. He's been at the club for... two years, two very poor years two very poor years indeed nothing more really needs to be said there so I don't know what kind of deal they're structuring with Juventus in terms of a nailed on fee at the end I would have thought that they'd want to get that one one of those deals ratified in terms of not getting back to the club But we'll see what happens there.
I'm not even sure that... Zergsy might have agreed in principle to go to Juventus if they put an offer on the table. They might have done that with loads of clubs last season as well. Whether or not they do that, I'm not quite sure. A little bit more on Lewis Skelly, the Arsenal defender. United were linked to him. It was a bit unclear whether or not this was United going after him to try and make Newcastle a little bit more agreeable on their fee or potential price for Lewis Hall. However, it seems as though it's come from the players' side, not necessarily wanting to move to United, but... using that interest to get some kind of dialogue going with Arsenal I don't know if they want reassurance if they want a new contract from Arsenal or if they are happy for him to move on and they do want United as a destination they want some clarification of what's happening with him but I do believe it's come from the players side and not the club side
