Premier League giants Manchester United have, reportedly, set a massive price tag on forward Marcus Rashford as the Club looks to deter interest from the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid ahead of the 2023 summer transfer window.
Amongst the team’s most consistent performers, this season – scoring 24 goals and providing nine assists across all competitions (stats via Transfermarkt) – the 25-year-old continues to garner interest from numerous clubs as he is set to move into the final year of his contract following the end of the ongoing campaign.
Whilst reports suggested a potential exit for the player last summer following a difficult spell under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick, the English attacker has since redeemed himself this campaign, as talks undergo over a potential renewed long-term contract at Old Trafford.
Marcus Rashford has been pivotal to the change in fortunes for Manchester United under manager Erik ten Hag this season. The England international has delivered invaluable performances since returning from the World Cup and has been deemed as the most in-form player in Europe, having raked up 16 goals and 6 assists in his last 18 games across all competitions.
Now, as reported by The Express, Manchester United have slapped an eye-watering £120m price tag on star Forward Marcus Rashford. With uncertainty looming over his contract situation, the Red Devils are eager to ward off interest from multiple European clubs.
Although the forward’s current deal expires in the summer of 2024, Ten Hag’s long-term model for the team is expected to include the 25-year-old as a key contributor on the pitch. Whilst the club were set to lose him for free this summer, having triggered the 12-month contract extension, the Red Devils remain keen on negotiating a new deal with the winger in the coming months.

Moreover, with the latest offer, reportedly, worth £300,000 per week, clubs across Europe are expected to seek advantage of an opportunity provided the forward rejects a new deal at Old Trafford. With Arsenal too, reportedly, in the race to secure his services if the opportunity arises, Manchester United will be keen on finalising a new deal for Marcus Rashford before the end of the season.
