KEY POINTS

  • Marcus Rashford may move out of Old Trafford if his playing time continues to be minimal
  • Paris Saint-Germain is reportedly linked to make a move for Rashford
  • Manchester United's new manager may figure prominently in Rashford’s predicament

Marcus Rashford appears imminently headed out the door as he continues to grope for playing time.

The 24-year-old winger came in as a substitute in the Red Devils' loss to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, March 6.

Rashford has struggled in recent months. So far, he has managed to score two goals in his last 20 appearances.

Furthermore, he has started in just one of Manchester United’s last five English Premier League games.

To sum it all up, the amount of playing time that Rashford has been getting is far from comforting.

Hence, it comes to no surprise that the English forward is considering a move out of Old Trafford with hopes of possible landing on a team that can utilize him better, the Guardian reported.

His contract is set to expire next year. However, the Red Devils can opt to extend this for an additional year if both camps agree.

But unless Rashford gets more playing time, seeing such a scenario holds no promise.

Hence, it won’t be surprising if Rashford ends up playing on a new team soon. One team reportedly interested in his services is Paris Saint-Germain, the Times reported.

In that report, PSG is allegedly ready to give Rashford an escape route from Old Trafford.

With Mauro Icardi expected to leave and Kylian Mbappe yet to commit to his future and possibly move to Real Madrid via free transfer, Rashford joining the Parisians could make sense.

The Ligue 1 giants reportedly have a long-term interest in Rashford.

However, seeing this deal fall through will depend on other factors as well. There is the matter of who the next Red Devils manager will be, someone who could utilize Rashford better.

Among the tipped candidates to take over managerial duties include Erik Ten Hag and Mauricio Pochettino.

Manchester United is reportedly set to talk with both candidates in the coming weeks.

Once a decision is made, the case of Rashford could be next.

If the Red Devils can put him to good use, the possibility of him staying on could increase.
