According to journalist Simon Jordan of the Daily Mail, Marcus Rashford is facing a concerning decline in form, which has had a significant impact on his position in the England national team and Manchester United.
Jordan also believes that the pressure of playing for Man United, with the burden of high expectations and potential distractions, has hindered Rashford’s development. “Regardless of the reasons, I feel that Rashford has stopped progressing.”
Jordan suggested that Marcus Rashford should consider a move to PSG to revive his career. “The French club has maintained contact with Man United in recent transfer windows regarding the signing of Rashford, and he believes now is the right time for Rashford to consider his future.” Moving to Ligue 1 would provide Rashford with a great opportunity to win titles as an English international, regular Champions League football, and potentially less scrutiny from the media.
Manchester United suffered a late defeat against Brentford, jeopardizing their chances of qualifying for the Champions League. As a result, they dropped to 7th place in the Premier League, trailing 4th-placed Tottenham Hotspur by 8 points. Manager Ten Hag admitted that his team didn’t deserve to win and is facing increasing pressure.
Ten Hag was fortunate to secure a point from that match and will need to improve his team’s performance if he wants to keep his job. Man United will face Chelsea and Liverpool in their upcoming matches, which are crucial for Ten Hag. If United continues to lose, Ten Hag could face the possibility of being sacked.
In other news, Manchester United is reportedly targeting former teammate Rasmus Hojlund. According to De Telegraaf, Man United is planning to sign midfielder Teun Koopmeiners, who has been performing well for Atalanta this season. The 26-year-old Dutch player has expressed his desire to leave Atalanta in the summer. The transfer fee for Koopmeiners is believed to be around £51 million.
Additionally, Manchester United is said to be interested in left-back Theo Hernandez from AC Milan. Bayern Munich is also pursuing Hernandez as a potential replacement for Alphonso Davies. Manchester United’s first-choice left-back, Luke Shaw, has been dealing with injuries, and Tyrell Malacia, the backup option, hasn’t provided consistent stability. Therefore, manager Erik ten Hag wants a long-term addition to the position.
Theo Hernandez, 25 years old, is considered one of the best left-backs in Europe. In the previous season, he scored 5 goals and provided 13 assists in 45 appearances for AC Milan. Manchester United believes Hernandez is worth the £51 million price tag and hopes that this signing will significantly improve their strength on the left flank.
