Manchester United star Marcus Rashford wanted by surprise club in transfer window as Barcelona and PSG face competition: Reports

Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford is reportedly the subject of interest of Inter Milan, with PSG and Barcelona already said to be in the fray for his services. The 27-year-old spent the second half of the recently concluded season on loan at Aston Villa.

With his Old Trafford contract expiring at the end of the month, it seems Rashford's future lies away from his parent club. While Rashford had a decent stint with Villa - four goals and six assists in 17 games cross competitions - they are apparently not in the running after missing out on UEFA Champions League.

However, that won't be a problem for the aforementioned three clubs, who finished in the top two in their respective leagues. While the Parisians won the continental treble, Inter finished second in Serie A, behind Napoli, while Barca won La Liga.

As per The Sun (via Sport Bible), the Nerazzurri are plotting a surrpise move for Rashford following their 5-0 loss to PSG in last month's Champions League final. The report says that Simone Inzaghi's side are open to the possibility of a long-term loan move, but United are looking to permamently offload the Englishman.

According to a source (via Sport Bible):

"Marcus is open-minded to a move abroad, and a fresh start."Lots of players have made the move from the Premier League to Serie A in recent years and performed very well. That’s why the idea of such a switch excites both the player and Inter."

It remains to be seen how the summer unfolds for the Euro 2020 finalist.
