Rashford 'to reject PSG move to stay at Man United'

Marcus Rashford will allegedly turn down the chance to join Paris Saint-Germain this summer in favour of remaining at Manchester United.

Marcus Rashford will reportedly turn down the chance to move to Paris Saint-Germain during this summer's transfer window in favour of remaining at Manchester United.

PSG are believed to be keen to sign the England international as a replacement for Kylian Mbappe, with the French champions thought to be willing to pay £75m for the Red Devils academy product.

However, last week, Man United head coach Erik ten Hag played down suggestions that Rashford could be on the move during this summer's transfer window.

According to The Sun, the 26-year-old does not want to leave Old Trafford in the upcoming market, and he will reject interest from Paris in order to continue his career in Manchester.

The report claims that Man United view Rashford as a 'key part' of their plans moving forward under new minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Rashford has allegedly 'knuckled down' since his problems earlier this season, and he is fired-up to end the 2023-24 campaign on a positive note.

The forward scored his eighth goal of the season in Man United's 4-3 win over Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon.

Rashford netted to make it 3-3 at Old Trafford in the 112th minute of extra-time before Amad Diallo scored the winner for the Red Devils in stoppage time at the end of the 120 minutes.

"Listen to the noise, you can tell what a big game it is, a huge occasion. I haven't had the season I wanted but night likes this at Old Trafford are what it's all about," Rashford told ITV Sport after the clash with Jurgen Klopp's side.

"I had to score that chance at the end, I wish it was done half an hour ago but we got the job done and we have to get something out of this season.

"Today represents what it always has to me, it's a massive game in the history of Manchester United. It gets us through to a semi-final but even a normal game against Liverpool we have to win.

"Amad Diallo has been working hard, he hasn't had the opportunities he wants and there's no better way to push for more than nights like this."

Man United will take on Coventry City in the semi-finals of the FA Cup next month, while their battle to secure a Champions League finish in the Premier League table will continue with a trip to Brentford after the international break.

Rashford will now link up with the England squad for their March friendlies with Brazil and Belgium, and he will need a strong end to the season to guarantee that he is selected for this summer's European Championship.
