According to sources, the talks with Manchester United are yet to begin. If they allow him to leave, United could demand a high fee. The Parisians' approach has been welcomed by theRashford camp.

Sources said that the agent and brother of the player met with the team. He was told by the French champion that they would offer his brother a large contract, though they didn't say how much they would pay.

Galtier wished the arrival of a new forward. The World Cup and a busy calendar make us wish for this to arrive. The club is putting in a lot of work.

The sporting director is in contact with the management and the president. There are things that can be done and things that cannot be done. Is this player going to survive? We don't know if we have a chance on that. I know that the club will not take and pile up a player, it must be a real added value, and the club is working in this direction, but I can't say if an offensive player will arrive by the end of the transfer window.

The person is called "This player" When he was in charge of the Parc des Princes, Mauricio Pochettino tried to get Marcus to Paris. The new sporting director is a big fan of the England player.

For Marcus Rashford, who has been struggling at Old United for the last 18 months, the possibility of an intriguing new challenge is something he is interested in. He scored four goals in 25 appearances in the English top flight and one in five games in the European competition.

Three months before the World Cup, he faces an uphill battle to get back into the England squad.
