PSG now want to sign Man Utd forward, not Marcus Rashford - report

Paris Saint-Germain are interested in signing Manchester United forward Alejandro Garnacho and are keeping tabs on his situation, according to the Times.

The Ligue 1 club were once linked with Red Devils academy graduate Marcus Rashford, but they are no longer keen on the England international and now want to land his teammate.

However, they have yet to make an offer for Garnacho and it remains to be seen if they plan to approach Man United for talks during the ongoing January transfer window.

The Argentina international is also on the radar of Atletico Madrid, with the La Liga club aware of his availability.

They are, however, reluctant to make a move for the 20-year-old left winger as they have other areas they want to prioritise.

Man United have maintained that they are not pushing Garnacho or Kobbie Mainoo (who has been linked with Chelsea) out of the club.

The need to raise money to make new recruitment as they close in on the limits under the Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) has made selling the two youngsters a possibility.

However, selling Rashford and Casemiro this month could come in handy and help them hold on to Garnacho and Mainoo beyond this window and possibly next summer, when more departures are guaranteed.

The Argentine has fallen out of favour under Man United head coach Ruben Amorim, and while remaining at the club will be best for his development, a move to PSG could be appealing should the French club table a juicy bid.

They have established themselves as perennial league winners and are hoping to start challenging strongly for the Champions League, but they need to replace Kylian Mbappe to boost their chances in Europe, and they could see Garnacho as the perfect player to succeed the Frenchman.

Amorim has proven that no player is undroppable at Man United and many will not be surprised should he sanction a sale for the Argentine this January.
