Erik ten Hag says Manchester United have no intention of selling Marcus Rashford this summer. The forward signeda new five-year deal after hitting 30 goals last season but has scored only seven times in a poor campaign for all connected to the club.
Rashford was linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain again this week, which could provide United with a huge windfall at a time of Premier League profit and sustainability considerations. It would represent pure profit because he is a homegrown player but Ten Hag says financial benefits are outweighed by the player’s importance to the future.We didn’t re-sign him last season for [five] years with the intention to sell him, no,” Ten Hag said. “He should be part of this project, so that is not a subject we talk about.”
Ten Hag was speaking before Sunday’s FA Cup quarter-final at home to Liverpool that may go some way to deciding whether the manager remains part of the Ineos-led project at United.
Injury-hit United have endured a tough season and need to win to keep alive their last remaining hope of a trophy. They sit sixth in the Premier League and face an uphill battle to qualify for the Champions League but Ten Hag hopes Sunday can act as a catalyst to transform their season.
