Former Manchester United forward Fraizer Campbell believes it could be "a big positive" for the club if Marcus Rashford wants to stay. Rashford spent last season on loan at Barcelona, scoring 14 goals and providing 14 assists in all competitions as the Catalan side won La Liga.
Leaky Newcastle kept just eight clean sheets in the Premier League last season and conceded 55 goals, 15th overall with only relegated Burnley, West Ham and Wolves plus Leeds and Tottenham below them. Newcastle's outfield players clearly did not offer enough protection, but goalkeeper Nick Pope made a handful of significant errors leading to goals while Aaron Ramsdale never fully convinced during his loan spell and has since returned to Southampton. A new number one was therefore a priority and Newcastle have once again looked to the continent.
