Manchester United are allegedly prepared to let Marcus Rashford leave this summer amid reports of fresh interest from Paris Saint-Germain.
Manchester United are reportedly prepared to let Marcus Rashford leave this summer, with Paris Saint-Germain thought to be considering launching an offer for the England international.
Rashford’s struggles during the 2023-24 campaign saw him left out of the England squad for Euro 2024, and he cut a frustrated figure for much of last season.
The 26-year-old only managed eight goals and five assists in 43 appearances for the Red Devils last term, while he also had off-the-field issues.
Rashford has another four years left to run on the lucrative contract that he signed in July 2023, but there have been suggestions that he could be on the move during the summer market.
PSG are looking for a replacement for Kylian Mbappe, who is heading for Real Madrid, and the French giants are said to have a long-standing interest in the Man United academy product.

Man United ‘are prepared to let Rashford leave’
A recent report claimed that Luis Enrique‘s side are giving serious consideration to making a move for Rashford, but the player first needs to signal that he would be open to a switch to France.
According to HITC, Man United are prepared to let Rashford leave this summer, providing that the club receive a suitable offer for his services.
The report claims that the 20-time English champions ‘have been left bewildered’ by the forward’s struggles, as he had been so impressive during the 2022-23 campaign.
Rashford scored 30 goals and registered 10 assists in 56 appearances in Erik ten Hag‘s first season at Old Trafford, which led to him receiving a huge new contract at the club.

PSG ‘are considering launching a big-money bid’
The attacker’s relationship with Ten Hag is believed to have become strained last season, and with the manager staying on, it is thought that the player could depart.
Arsenal have also been credited with an interest in Rashford, but it is highly unlikely that the Red Devils would be willing to let him join a domestic rival.
During the club’s end-of-season review, it is believed that senior figures at Old Trafford were in agreement that serious offers for Rashford this summer should be considered.
As it stands, the forward is due to report for pre-season training at Man United on July 8, having not been involved for England this summer.
The Red Devils will then open their pre-season against Rosenborg on July 15, and they will also tackle Rangers before heading to the United States for matches against Arsenal, Real Betis and Liverpool.
