Rashford reveals how close he was to PSG

A year ago, Marcus Rashford was close to signing for PSG. In search of a quality centre-forward, the Ile-de-France club had seriously thought of him as reinforcement. In the end, it didn’t happen. Due in particular to the refusal of the player.

Ten Hag was a game changer for Rashford

Why did the English international end up saying no to the champions of France? A question he answered himself this weekend. “Before Erik Ten Hag arrived, I thought a bit about leaving. I think everything happens for a reason and his arrival at the club came at the right time for me.”he said from the United States, where he is currently on tour with his club.

Rashford could therefore have composed an infernal pair with Kylian Mbappé. He knows it, but he does not regret his choice. He even thinks he has done the right thing. “Last season I felt a bit more freedom and a bit more stability. This is the basis for successfully showing my qualities. I enjoyed scoring goals, making assists, playing at the front and trying to pose a threat in the opposing camp”.

Rashford’s statements are verified through the statistics since he signed his most complete season with 30 goals and 11 assists. An excellent balance sheet and one that he intends to improve further during the coming financial year. “The manager always wants us to progress, whether physically or mentally. If he sees that there is room to progress, he does not fail to tell you. It’s important for your development and you never stop developing during your career.
