Paul Gascoigne has advised Manchester United's struggling forward on the perfect transfer to make in order to revive his career.

England legend, Paul Gascoigne has some advice for struggling Manchester United star Marcus Rashford.

The England forward's inconsistent form over the past two seasons has raised suggestions that an exit may be on the cards.

"Yeah, definitely, I think so," Gascoigne told SportsCasting when asked if Rashford should exit Manchester United.

"I love Rashford, I think he's an unbelievable player, but he doesn't seem to care. Even when he scores, he doesn't seem happy about it, so something is happening there."

Rashford's omission from England's Euro 2024 squad, which finished runner-up to Spain, has only enhanced the feeling that moving away from United is necessary.

Gascoigne believes a change of scenery, specifically Italy, could be the catalyst for Rashford's resurgence.

"For Rashford, he doesn't seem happy playing in England anyway. And some good clubs will come in for him. Go to Italy, that will shake him up."

The 26-year-old could follow in the footsteps of Romelu Lukaku, who left Manchester United for Inter Milan and experienced a remarkable turnaround.

Lukaku's move to Italy revitalized his career, culminating in a Serie A title triumph.

Perhaps Italy's slower pace will light a fresh spark and allow Rashford return to his best form.
