West Ham will continue to monitor Marcus Rashford
“Watch this space is what I’ll say on that one,” Robinson told Football Insider.
“Manchester United would ideally like to explore their options outside of the Premier League.
“They could well end up with egg on the face because he’s a top player and we know the potential that he can reach.
“There is nothing to say that Marcus Rashford couldn’t go into another Premier League side and score 15, 20 goals before now on the end of the season because he’s that type of player, he could do that.
“If he goes to Serie A, the Bundesliga or elsewhere, then maybe not so apparent that he’s in everybody’s face there, he carries a huge salary.
“We know there’s a huge financial obligation when it comes with Marcus Rashford. We know that his representatives are scouring Europe.
“If we get to that last weekend before February and there’s no deal in place and there’s no set destination for Marcus Rashford, then don’t rule out West Ham.
“[They have a] real chance at nicking him.”
