Recent speculation regarding PSG’s interest in Marcus Rashford has been firmly dismissed, as the club remains focused on maintaining a professional and harmonious squad.
The Manchester United forward has been under scrutiny both for his off-field behavior and underwhelming performances, making him an undesirable target for many top clubs across Europe.
Rashford’s troubles at Manchester United
Rashford’s struggles have been widely noted, particularly after being left out of the squad during Manchester United’s recent derby clash against Manchester City.
PSG is NOT interested in Marcus Rashford, reports @lauriewhitwell.
Furthermore, as it stands, there are no clubs currently interested in Marcus Rashford due to his off-pitch behavior, form, and massive salary. @MelissaReddy_ 🏴🚫 pic.twitter.com/lWHkT37pwK

Reports suggest that his disciplinary issues off the pitch, combined with his lack of form on it, have significantly affected his standing within the club.
Adding to this is his substantial salary, which makes him a high-risk acquisition for potential suitors, including PSG.
PSG’s focus remains on squad reinforcements
PSG has made it clear that their focus lies elsewhere as they approach the January transfer window.
Under the guidance of Luis Enrique and Sporting Director Luis Campos, the club will prioritize strengthening specific areas of the squad, particularly the full-back positions.
The lack of depth at both right-back and left-back has been a recurring issue for PSG this season, and reinforcing these roles will be critical for their ambitions in Ligue 1 and the UEFA Champions League.
January window key for PSG
While incomings are expected in January, PSG is also evaluating potential departures to optimize their roster.
The club remains committed to strategic and disciplined recruitment, focusing on players who can contribute both on and off the field.
In dismissing interest in Rashford, PSG reaffirms its commitment to building a squad that aligns with its professional standards, ensuring that the upcoming transfer window serves to address the team’s most pressing needs.
