PSG face Saudi battle in race to sign 27-year-old Manchester United star

Saudi Pro League clubs are reportedly keen on signing Paris Saint-Germain attacking target Marcus Rashford from Manchester United.

Marcus Rashford could soon part ways with Manchester United as he is no longer an important part of their plans moving ahead. The arrival of Ruben Amorim has seen him go down the pecking order, and they seem ready to cash in on their academy graduate.

According to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, Rashford is on the radar of multiple top clubs from the Saudi Pro League. Apart from clubs in the Middle East, French giants PSG are also keen on having him in their squad.

Marcus Rashford has come up the ranks at Old Trafford. He has been a part of their first team since the start of 2016. While he has been a key figure in their team and has done wonders for them, the 27-year-old has not been consistent enough.

The Englishman was at the peak of his powers during the 2022/23 season as he bagged 30 goals and nine assists in his 56 outings. While he has been trying very hard, Rashford has only been a shadow of his former self. He has not reached the expected levels in the last two seasons, and his future at the club is uncertain.

Ruben Amorim is ready to sell Rashford

Ruben Amorim has recently taken charge of the club. The Portuguese manager is all set to make major tactical changes, and he does not consider the English international to be an ideal fit for his system. With his performances declining, Marcus Rashford has given the green light to the sale of Rashford.

Given the current situation, the Red Devils are all set to listen to offers for their academy graduate and there is no shortage of interest in him. Clubs from the Middle East have signed quite a few top stars in recent years, and they are constantly on the lookout for players who can add further caps to the Saudi Pro League.

They could offer Rashford the perfect platform to relaunch himself and at the same time earn a massive package. While the finances involved won’t be a problem for the 27-year-old, it will be interesting to see if the project interests him.

Meanwhile, he also has the option of moving to France where PSG are keen on having him in their squad. The Ligue 1 outfit are looking to reinforce their attack. They want to bring in a high-profile star and are interested in Rashford, who still has time on his side to turn things around.
