Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly set to renew their interest in Marcus Rashford. The 26-year-old forward was once heavily linked with a move to the French capital, opening talks when it appeared that a move overseas might be on the cards.

Rashford chose to remain at Old Trafford and subsequently had his best season under Erik ten Hag, netting 30 goals. However, after a less-than-stellar season for Manchester United last year, there has been increased speculation about his future, with the club's hierarchy thought to be open to bids for all but a few key players.

This has sparked fresh interest from PSG, according to talkSPORT, with the Ligue 1 side looking to fill the void left by Kylian Mbappe. It's suggested that they will intensify their pursuit of Rashford if they sense any willingness on his part to leave United.

This renewed interest from PSG comes just months after reports indicated they were ready to abandon their pursuit due to Manchester United's high demands. Back in April, it was reported that the Red Devils were asking for a whopping £100million to let go of their homegrown striker, who failed to secure a spot in England's Euro 2024 squad.

Rashford inked a lucrative new deal with United following his 30-goal season in September 2023. His rumoured weekly wage of £325,000 could potentially pose a problem for any prospective buyers if bids are made during the transfer window, according to the Mirror.

Despite rumours suggesting a potential move away, and the club's openness to offers for most of their first-team squad, it was revealed last week that Rashford has no intention of leaving Old Trafford.

Due to the Premier League's current profit and sustainability rules, United will have to depend on player trading this summer to bring in the new players they want, given their net transfer budget is around £50million.

However, the club management has identified four players as untouchable in the transfer window. This list includes Andre Onana, Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund.

It's believed that serious offers for all other players, including the likes of Rashford and even club captain Bruno Fernandes, would be considered by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his team.
