Marcus Rashford and Man Utd at a stand-off as attacker vows to refuse Red Devils' attempts to sell him amid disappointing season and PSG interest

Amid discussions of a potential squad overhaul at United, selling Rashford has emerged as a viable option, according to The Sun. Given that 100 per cent of the profit from trading homegrown players contributes to compliance with Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations, a potential sale aligns with INEOS' long-term financial goals.

The report mentions that PSG, among a select few clubs, stand as a realistic contender to meet Rashford's £80 million ($100m) valuation and can also accommodate his substantial personal terms, particularly as they seek to fill the void left by Kylian Mbappe's potential departure in the summer.

Despite Rashford's disappointing form on the pitch, the club remains steadfast in their belief in his potential and desire for success - especially considering the significant investment made in him through a lucrative new contract which will keep him at the club at least until 2028. Nonetheless, there's a recognition among the decision-makers that Rashford's performance must improve significantly, with the forward managing only eight club goals this season and finding himself frequently relegated to the bench.

Rashford reportedly has no intention of leaving United and is happy to continue living in Manchester. His weekly wage of £325,000 remains another stumbling block to a potential exit.

Fan frustration has also mounted towards the homegrown star, evident in boos directed at Rashford during the FA Cup semi-final when he was hooked towards the end of regulation time. Moreover, the report alleges that the forward's relationship with manager Erik ten Hag has deteriorated significantly, with minimal communication between the pair.

Ten Hag's reported frustration stems from Rashford's alleged disregard for warnings regarding his off-pitch conduct. Incidents such as partying after the 3-0 derby defeat last October and being spotted out again in Belfast in January, despite being scheduled for training the next day, have strained relations between the player and the manager.

Rashford's rough patch might potentially cost him a place in England's Euro 2024 squad. However, his determination to remain at the club despite challenges on and off the pitch underscores his commitment to United amid swirling transfer rumours. He has five matches left in the current season to show his mettle to Gareth Southgate, including a titanic FA Cup final clash against Manchester City. It remains to be seen if he can make the most of the opportunities to finish his campaign on a high, starting with a clash against Crystal Palace on Monday evening.
