Paris Saint-Germain prepare a £75m bid for Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, according to a report.

Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly preparing a £75m bid for Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford.

The French champions will lose Kylian Mbappe this summer, with the France international widely expected to leave the club on a free transfer to make the move to Real Madrid.

PSG are expected to be active in the upcoming market, with a couple of new attackers potentially arriving, and according to The Mirror, Rashford is firmly on the club's shortlist.

The report claims that the Ligue 1 giants are ready to reignite their interest in the England international, having been heavily linked with his signature in the summer of 2022.

PSG are allegedly preparing to place a £75m bid on the table for the Red Devils academy product, who signed a new long-term contract with the 20-time English champions last year.

Rashford has found it difficult to show his best form for Man United this season, only contributing seven goals and six assists in 34 appearances in all competitions.

The forward has managed five goals in his last nine Premier League appearances, but he is still finding it difficult to show consistency for the 20-time English champions.

Rashford's relationship with Man United head coach Erik ten Hag is said to be strained, with a recent report claiming that the two individuals are now barely on speaking terms.

The Englishman caused controversy earlier this year when he visited a nightclub in Dublin on two separate evenings and then called in sick for training before his side's FA Cup clash with Newport County.

Rashford has also cut a frustrated figure for much of the campaign, with his form in stark contrast to last season, when he managed 30 goals and 11 assists in 56 appearances in all competitions.

PSG are said to be confident of making the most of Rashford's issues this season to secure his signature during this summer's transfer window.

An opening bid of £75m will allegedly be lodged, with the potential to go higher, with Man United said to value their academy product closer to £100m.

Rashford made his debut for the Red Devils in 2015, and he has represented the club on 393 occasions, scoring 130 goals and registering 74 assists in the process.

The forward is currently with the Man United squad preparing for Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final with Liverpool at Old Trafford.
