Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly considering making a stunning bid for Manchester United star Marcus Rashford, according to i.
The French giants are said to be long-term admirers of the England international, who has been struggling for form and fitness this season.
Rashford’s commitment to the Red Devils has also been questioned after he was spotted entering a nightclub in Belfast and subsequently missed training due to ‘illness’.
The 25-year-old signed a lucrative new contract with United in 2022, making him the highest-paid player at Old Trafford. However, he has failed to live up to his billing, scoring only four goals in 18 appearances in all competitions in 2023-24.
PSG, meanwhile, are looking to bolster their attacking options, especially with the uncertain future of Kylian Mbappe, who has been linked with a move to Real Madrid. The Ligue 1 champions are believed to be ready to test United’s resolve with a mega offer for Rashford, who could be tempted by a fresh challenge and the chance to play alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar.
It remains to be seen whether United would be willing to part ways with one of their academy products, who has been at the club since he was seven years old. Rashford has scored 121 goals in 312 games for United, winning the FA Cup, the League Cup and the Europa League. He has also been praised for his off-field work, especially his campaign to end child food poverty in the UK.
- Rashford has scored one goal in his last 10 games for United, and has not scored in the Premier League since December 23, 2023.
- Rashford is valued at €100 million by Transfermarkt, making him the sixth most valuable forward in the world.
- Rashford has 42 caps and 15 goals for England, and was part of the squad that reached the final of the Euro 2020 and the semi-final of the 2022 World Cup.
- Rashford was awarded an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) in 2020 for his services to vulnerable children during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Rashford has a sponsorship deal with Nike, and has featured in several commercials and campaigns for the brand.
