'I don't think Rashford ticks PSG boxes right now' - Laurens

Marcus Rashford looks on
[PA Media]

French football journalist Julien Laurens, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live's Euro Leagues podcast about Marcus Rashford and whether Paris St-Germain would be a realistic transfer destination for the Manchester United forward if he were to leave in January:

"I don't think so. There was contact before when Kylian Mbappe was at the club. Rashford and Mbappe are quite close. His brother, who is also his agent, travelled to Paris and met Nasser Al-Khelaifi and all the big people at the club.

"I think at the time it was maybe more to almost force the hand of Manchester United to give him a new deal, which they did eventually. But it was never going to happen back then to start with.

"Right now, especially if they let Randal Kolo Muani go, it's true that PSG would maybe get another forward.

"I just don't think that Marcus Rashford, right now, ticks the boxes that Luis Campos and Luis Enrique want."
