Man United keen to keep hold of key player

Manchester United will be hoping to continue their good form when they face Fulham on Saturday afternoon. 

The Red Devils recorded a fourth consecutive Premier League victory by beating Luton Town 2-1 at Kenilworth Road on Sunday, with Rasmus Hojlund netting twice to earn all three points for the visitors.

Erik ten Hag will be keen to ensure his side continue their good run of form in order to give themselves the best possible chance of finishing in the top four and qualifying for next season’s Champions League.

Off the pitch, United’s new part-owners are said to be determined to keep hold of one of their key players, despite interest from elsewhere.

As per Football Insider, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS, who recently invested in the club, are keen to keep hold of forward Marcus Rashford despite interest from French champions Paris Saint-Germain.

Rashford, 26, has made more than 385 appearances for United since scoring twice on his debut for the club in 2016.

Rashford has been linked with a move to french giants PSG

In total the Englishman has scored 128 times for his boyhood club, as well as providing 74 assists.

The forward enjoyed his most prolific season to date last term, netting 30 times across all competitions, but has only scored five times this season.

French side PSG are set to lose talisman Kylian Mbappe when the forward’s contract expires this summer, and the Ligue 1 champions are therefore likely to be on the hunt for a replacement.

England international Rashford has been linked with a move to the French capital, but the report claims that those in charge of United are desperate to keep hold of him beyond this summer.

Rashford’s current contract – signed last year – isn’t due to expire until the end of the 2027/28 season, which means that United are under very little pressure to sell the player any time soon.
