Marcus Rashford to PSG links could help Manchester United land Mauricio Pochettino favourite

It’s been a tough season for Marcus Rashford at Manchester United.

The 24-year-old is having his worst season at the club since his breakthrough more than five years ago.

Rashford has made 24 appearances in all competitions for United but has registered only five goals and two assists across three competitions.

His last goal came in the 1-0 win against West Ham in mid-January and since then he has gone seven games without finding the net.

In a season that won’t live long in the memory for United fans, Rashford has been among the most disappointing aspects of it.

MEN Sport reported that the player is assessing his options and considering a move, such has been his frustration over the way things have gone at Old Trafford this season.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently stated that Rashford’s situation at United is being monitored by Paris Saint-Germain, and while no contacts have yet been made with the player nor with United, he could be an option to replace Kylian Mbappe, should the Frenchman leave the club once his contract expires.

Following their latest monumental Champions League collapse, it’s likely that Mbappe will want to leave the French capital and go to the team who just inflicted their latest embarrassment, Real Madrid.

Moreover, Lionel Messi could also leave, with reports emerging this week that a return to Barcelona could be on the cards ahead of next season.

Should Messi and Mbappe both leave, then PSG will be in the market for one or two attackers (or three, this is PSG, after all). Would Rashford make a good fit in Ligue 1?

It remains to be seen if Rashford would want to leave United for France, to begin with, even if he is assessing options. Monetary reasons aside, there is little motive for players
