Big European clubs don’t want £300k-a-week Man United star says reliable journalist

Man United will find it very hard to sell Marcus Rashford this summer as there is very little interest in the forward from big clubs across Europe.

This summer’s transfer window is a huge one for the Premier League giants as it is the first that will be overseen by new part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe. The Ineos CEO is looking to bring United back to the top of the Premier League table and has already made some significant changes behind the scenes.

Then Man United will need to decide what players to bring in and sell, with one star they’ll struggle to move on being Marcus Rashford.

According to ESPN’s Mark Ogden, the forward’s future is in doubt, but having signed a £300,000-a-week five-year contract last summer, the England star is generating little interest from clubs. Sources have told ESPN that speculation linking Rashford with Paris Saint-Germain is wide of the mark, with the Ligue 1 leaders identifying AC Milan’s Rafael Leão as their preferred option to replace the departing Kylian Mbappé.
