Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is attracting interest from Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus, according to a report.

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has reportedly attracted interest from Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus.

Rashford was linked with a possible exit from Old Trafford in the 2021-22 campaign during a difficult period under former bosses Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick, but the Englishman was persuaded to remain at the club by incoming manager Erik ten Hag.

Ten Hag reaped the rewards of keeping the 26-year-old, who scored 30 goals and registered 11 assists in 56 appearances across all competitions, helping the Red Devils win the EFL Cup and qualify for the Champions League courtesy of a third-placed finish in the Premier League.

Rashford was rewarded with a new contract in July, keeping him tied to Old Trafford until the summer of 2028, but the academy graduate has since endured another decline in form this season.

Man United's No.10 has scored just two goals and provided four assists in 21 appearances across all tournaments so far this term, and the forward has recently been left out of Ten Hag's starting lineup.

Both Antony and Alejandro Garnacho have been preferred ahead of Rashford in wide areas, while Rasmus Hojlund and Anthony Martial are considered as the two centre-forward options at Ten Hag's disposal.

A recent report claims that Rashford is among a number of players at Man United who has lost faith in Ten Hag and has questioned the manager's training methods and tactics amid the clubs inconsistent run of form in all competitions.

Speculation over Rashford's long-term future at Old Trafford has since resurfaced, with Fichajes claiming that Barcelona, PSG and Juventus are all keen to secure the services of the England international.

Barcelona were credited with an interest in Rashford during the 2021-22 season and are said to be ready to reignite their pursuit of the forward ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.

It remains to be seen whether the Catalan giants can afford to recruit a player of Rashford's stature considering their well-documented financial troubles that have forced the club to limit their spending on new signings in recent seasons.

Barca's interest in Rashford comes at a time when winger Raphinha is facing an uncertain future at Camp Nou having started just six of the club's 17 La Liga matches so far this season.

Just over a year on from signing Raphinha from Leeds United for a reported £55m, Xavi's side are believed to be open to selling the Brazilian for the right price, with a number of Premier League clubs said to be keeping tabs on his situation.

Meanwhile, Juventus are believed to be on the lookout for attacking reinforcements as they attempt to return to the summit of Serie A, but like Barcelona, the Italian giants have financial problems to attend to and may struggle to fork out significant sums on new players.

PSG appear to have the deepest pockets of the three clubs in the hunt for Rashford, and the club's president Nasser Al-Khelaifi admitted this time last year that the French champions would be interested in luring the forward to the Parc des Princes.
