Marcus Rashford hasn’t had the best time of it at Man United lately, and rumours continue to swirl regarding his immediate future.
As he showed against Man City, when he’s ‘on it,’ Rashford is still a worthy addition to the Red Devils XI, however, his form has been patchy at best during 2023/24.
Disciplinary issues with his manager, Erik ten Hag, also won’t have gone down well in the corridors of power at Old Trafford, and with the new regime getting their feet under the table now, there was a cogent argument to suggest that a Rashford sale might bring in a pretty penny to club coffers.
Man United want to keep hold of Marcus Rashford
However, that particular notion has been swiftly put to bed by the club, who are not interested in allowing the England international to move on.
“It’s important to clarify something with regards to Marcus Rashford, because I’ve been getting many questions coming from you, guys,” Fabrizio Romano said to CaughtOffside for his exclusive Daily Briefing.
“There are many rumours concerning PSG bidding for Rashford, and let me say guys, I’m not aware of anything concrete in terms of negotiations or bid at this point.
“PSG appreciate Rashford and he is a player they really wanted two years ago when Pochettino was in charge, but Man United said no, Erik ten Hag said no and he confirmed again in his press conference that he wants to continue with Marcus Rashford as a crucial part of his project.
“The situation remains quiet, and Rashford’s full focus is on Manchester United. Let’s see if it changes in the summer.”
Clearly, Rashford’s skill set hasn’t been used to its fullest potential this season, but that’s as much to do with the way that United have been playing as the player’s own lack of confidence at times.
Many of his team-mates just haven’t been up to the mark, whilst Erik ten Hag will surely point to United’s injury record across the season as a reason why they’ve been unable to get any sort of rhythm to their play.
For Rashford now, there’s an FA Cup tie on the immediate horizon, and one where he can have his name up in lights with a brilliant individual performance.
Slightly longer term is the European Championship, and the 26-year-old will know that he needs to be in decent form if he wants to give his best for England.
