Kylian Mbappe wished PSG to signal Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford his summertime, according to a report from France.
Mbappe was joined with a transfer to Real Madrid as a cost-free agent but was in the long run persuaded to keep in Paris many thanks to a succession of lavish presents from the board of the club.
The World Cup winner was offered a say in transfer plan – but just since his voice was heard does not necessarily mean that all the things he demanded came legitimate.
Mbappe, for example, needed to see the attack enhanced and RMC reports there was a 4-man shortlist drawn up with this in mind.

Rashford was amid those people names on the record, but although back links emerged no deal at any time came to fruition. In fact, it was even claimed from the Manchester side that the one-way links had been created with the intention of improving upon the England international’s bargaining placement over a new deal.
Indeed, there was common surprise at the rumours at the time as Rashford put in the 2021/22 season out of form, scoring only 5 occasions in 32 matches in all competitions. This time close to, he has netted a few instances already and is holding Cristiano Ronaldo out of the Man Utd team.
Yet, the 24-year-old proceeds to be quietly on the radar of the Ligue 1 champions.

Mbappe also experienced his eyes on a couple of centre forwards. Robert Lewandowski eventually left Bayern Munich to sign for Barcelona, when the other player was Gianluca Scamacca, who signed for West Ham getting impressed last season in Serie A with Sassuolo.
The final player that Mbappe wanted at PSG was Ousmane Dembele, whose agreement expired at Barcelona previous summer. Fears over the winger’s harm record, although, prevented a deal from remaining made and he would in the end remain at Camp Nou, the place Barca are desperately scrambling to tie him down to a further new deal due to a clause in his present agreement.
Rashford to PSG, meanwhile, is surely not a useless deal, especially although Mbappe remains influential at the Parc des Princes aspect. Manchester United need the assurance of their forward signing a new deal to place any doubts they may well have over his long term eventually to bed.
