Chris Sutton: PSG could be the best next club for Rashford - (interview for Newbettingsites.uk)

January 09, 2025

Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton has told NewBettingSites.uk that Marcus Rashford may struggle to find a new club given the issues he has had with the two most recent Manchester United bosses, Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim.

Sutton also believes that a move away from the Premier League could benefit the forward to regain his form, with a transfer to French giants Paris Saint-Germain a sensible switch.

Speaking to NewBettingSites.uk, Sutton said: “I think Marcus Rashford will leave in this January transfer window, but I’m not entirely sure of which of the big clubs would go and take him.

“I can see him going to a club like Paris Saint-Germain. A change of environment would be a good option for Rashford, to escape the scrutiny and build his confidence back up. He clearly doesn’t feel loved at Manchester United.

“I’m glad he’s not looking to move over to Saudi Arabia because I think he can do that when he’s 35, he’s still got a big European club in him. He’s got to do the hard yards and prove himself again, it’s as simple as that.”

Rashford has not impressed Man Utd bosses

Sutton highlighted the fact both Ten Hag and Amorim dropped Rashford, raising questions over his suitability at big clubs. Sutton emphasised the importance of keeping equilibrium in the dressing room and how even if a player has unquestionable talent, if they disrupt things internally, then managers are likely to look elsewhere because ultimately the team has to adhere to the standards set by the manager.

Sutton added: “Marcus Rashford does have an issue. No one doubts that a fit and motivated Rashford is able to perform to a really high level and score loads of goals - he’s already proven he’s capable of that. But the last two Manchester United managers have questioned his attitude.

“When Erik ten Hag arrived with a clean slate and wanted to do well, there was an issue with Rashford. And now we’re seeing the same thing with Ruben Amorim. Managers want to go in and hit the ground running so it’s not the case of there being an agenda against Rashford, it’s about setting standards at the club.

“For whatever reason, Amorim clearly doesn’t see Rashford performing at the required level or meeting those standards. That means if you’re a top team and looking at what has happened at United, would you take a chance and pay big money for a player who’s caused problems for two managers in a row? I think that’s the issue clubs are going to have looking at Rashford.

“I don’t doubt his ability, there aren’t many people out there that do, but there are certainly question marks around his attitude and application. It’s not just about the ability for managers, it’s about the person and the character and they don’t want a disruptor in the dressing room. I’m not saying that’s what Rashford is, but there’s a reason why the last two managers have discarded a really talented player.”
