The Catalan giants opted against making his move permanent despite the forward scoring 14 goals and registering 14 assists in 47 appearances as they won LaLiga. But O’Hara believes Spurs should forget their pursuit of other attacking targets and make a move for Rashford instead. Speaking on Sky Sports’ Tottenham summer special podcast, he said: “I just don’t know why we don’t go for Marcus Rashford. I really think that Spurs should just go, how much do you want? How much can we get him for? “I know he’s on £350,000 a week, and obviously Spurs potentially can’t afford that but he’s such a brilliant player. “If you get him at it with a point to prove, I just think he’s still one of the best players around.” Tottenham are understood to be prioritising a new left-sided forward before the transfer window closes, with Manchester City’s Savinho and Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo among the players linked with a move to north London.

O’Hara added: “I think De Zerbi is the perfect man-manager for someone like Rashford. “He’s a manager who will get the best out of him. I think he’d be a good signing for us. “The left side is something we still need to address. Mathys Tel is a decent young player, but he isn’t the answer. “We have got to sign someone who’s a top-drawer player, who gets us to another level and really pushes us on.” Rashford’s future could become one of the biggest transfer stories of the final weeks of the window, although United boss Michael Carrick has opened the door for him to remain part of his plans. The 28-year-old is back training with the United squad and could still have a role to play if he can convince Carrick he can return to his best. Spurs have already spent £237million on six new signings this summer, but their recruitment drive has slowed in recent weeks following the club-record £100m arrival of Sandro Tonali. With the deadline approaching, De Zerbi is still looking for another attacking addition, and O’Hara believes Rashford could be the man to take Tottenham to the next level. Comment now
