This summer, Marcus Rashford “will not be leaving” Manchester United, despite the debunking of allegations that Paris Saint-Germain is not interested in signing him. Although Rashford had been connected to the French team, such rumors have subsequently been refuted in public.
However, football writer Dean Jones would not accept that PSG is uninterested. However, Jones believes that Rashford won’t be leaving Old Trafford during the summer transfer window, thus their public position is meaningless. It coincides with rumors over Rashford’s future in light of his poor performance this season and a few off-field events that have drawn negative attention to him.
Rio Ferdinand publicly chastised Rashford for skipping training, while Gary Neville indicated that something is ‘not right’ with Rashford personally this season. In 31 Premier League games this season, Rashford has only scored seven goals and provided two assists, reflecting a decline in his play. This contrasts with 17 goals and 5 assists in 35 league games during the previous season.
Jones has informed GIVEMESPORT that Garnacho’s possible circumstances at PSG need to be known. The striker, 19, is in some hot water after ‘liking’ remarks on social media that criticized United boss Erik ten Hag. Although United has said in the open that the issue has been resolved, they have not stated whether Garnacho received a fine or punishment for his actions on “X.”
Should the social media activity really represent Garnacho’s complaints, it may provide an intriguing summer transfer opportunity. A lot also depends on what Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS do this summer at Old Trafford. Garnacho’s position may change if a manager or elite new players are brought in.
In any case, PSG has been instructed to keep an eye on the circumstances. Things could become serious shortly, in which case Garnacho might become accessible. Jones thinks the French powerhouses need to be considering him as a player.
Dean Jones on Garnacho and Rashford joining PSG
Jones believes the club will now attempt to “turn around his situation” and get Rashford “back on track” as a “superstar” with the team, since it is now apparent that the player won’t be departing. Regarding Ten Hag’s man management skills, a choice will have to be taken.
Jones revealed to GIVEMSPORT exclusively:
“I simply don’t believe it’s true that PSG has no interest in acquiring Rashford, so I don’t buy into that narrative. However, Rashford will not be leaving United, so I suppose it makes little difference how PSG positions itself in the public eye. The club’s task is to find a way to improve his circumstances and restore his superstar status, and part of that involves determining if Ten Hag has the skills necessary to do it.
“In terms of PSG, if I was at United right now I’d be slightly concerned about them keeping an eye on the Garnacho situation next because if there is an actual fall out then there is no way other teams in Europe will not be looking and monitoring.”
