Paris Saint-Germain have held interest in Rashford for several years but Merson says clubs will be reluctant to spend ‘silly money’ on the 26-year-old given his inconsistent performances for Manchester United.
Rashford has only scored seven goals in 31 Premier League appearances this season, with his underwhelming form possibly costing him a place in England’s squad for Euro 2024.

‘I like him but he blows hot and cold far too often for teams to pay silly money for him, so I can’t see him getting a transfer this summer.’

Erik ten Hag’s side return to action on Monday night against Crystal Palace and Merson has predicted more disappointment for United fans.
‘If Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise are fully fit, Crystal Palace will beat Manchester United and anyone who has watched the Red Devils in recent weeks will agree with me,’ he added.
‘Manchester United are a massive football club, but not a massive football team anymore. Their team is not even remotely close to being considered good enough considering the size of the club.
‘I’d be more shocked if Manchester United won this game – that’s where it’s got to at the moment! I’m going 2-1 to Palace.’

‘Looking at Marcus Rashford, I honestly believe it’s in the best interest of all parties that he goes and gets a fresh challenge somewhere else,’ he told .
‘I think he needs it and I think the Manchester United fans are beginning to run out of patience with him and a few others in the side. I look at his body language and he just doesn’t look happy.’
