According to reports, Manchester United is willing to let Marcus Rashford leave the team this summer due to attention from around Europe. Even though manager Erik ten Hag frequently gave the forward messages of confidence, the forward underperformed significantly for the Red Devils the previous season.

During 33 Premier League games last season, Rashford netted seven goals and provided two assists. However, his performances were far from spectacular, raising doubts about his dedication to the team. As a result, he was also left off of Gareth Southgate's England roster for UEFA Euro 2024.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe will lead the Red Devils in a significant rebuild this summer, and the INEOS chief is prepared to throw aside allegiances in the process of reassembling the team. Reports state that United is "ready" to let go of Rashford this summer, and that Paris Saint-Germain is anticipated to show renewed interest in the adaptable forward.

Ten Hag has been dealing with an ongoing headache due to his off-field disciplinary issues, leaving his boyhood side "bewildered" by his struggles during the past 12 months. Along with his inconsistent performances, other problems are rumored to have surfaced over the season, leading Manchester United to declare that they won't obstruct Rashford should bids for him come in.

Mikel Arteta wants Rashford at Arsenal

Online rumors claim that Mikel Arteta and Marcus Rashford met recently, with one of the many subjects discussed being a potential transfer to Arsenal. It's reported that both sides are amenable to the possibility of reaching an agreement. Additionally, Rashford has previously been connected to the Gunners. Even after signing a fresh long-term contract this past summer, there have been persistent rumors about him being a player of interest.

Rashford still has four years remaining on his contract at Old Trafford, where he is paid over £300,000 per week. His future is uncertain due to a subpar season at his childhood club and the possibility of yet another managerial change.
