€50M LINEUP: PSG TARGETS MANCHESTER UNITED'S MARCUS RASHFORD

PSG plans a €50m move for Marcus Rashford after his brilliant Barcelona loan. Luis Enrique wants the in-form Man Utd winger.

€50M Lineup: PSG Targets Manchester United's Marcus Rashford
PSG Outbids Barca for United’s €50M Target

Since Marcus Rashford moved to Barcelona on loan from Manchester United this summer, he's really turned things around. His great play in Spain has caught the eye of many big clubs who are now after the English player.

Fichajes reports that Luis Enrique is a big fan of the 28-year-old and has asked PSG to try and sign him. The Spanish coach wants more talent and options on the wings and thinks Rashford would be a good fit for his strategy.

After some struggles and a disagreement with coach Ruben Amorim, Marcus Rashford spent the second part of last season on loan at Aston Villa. Even though he came back to Manchester United in the summer, he didn't have a place on the team.

The Red Devils were willing to let him go, and Barcelona took advantage by getting him on loan with an option to buy for €35 million. The English winger has been playing great since joining the Spanish team.

With several of their key forwards dealing with injuries, Rashford has become Hansi Flick's main guy. The Manchester United player who didn't quite fit in has played in 17 games and has been involved in 15 goals (6 goals, 9 assists).

Even though Barcelona has a cheap option to make the move permanent, their finances aren't great. Because of this, there's no guarantee he'll stay with the Spanish club after this season, even if they want to make a deal.

PSG is ready to do whatever it takes to get Rashford.

Marcus Rashford is still officially a Manchester United player, but he's not really in their plans anymore. So, they'll try to sell him if Barcelona doesn't use their option to buy. PSG is watching him closely and might try to make a deal.

Luis Enrique thinks he'd be a great addition to their attack, and they're ready to invest a good amount of money to bring him to France. They're getting ready to make an initial offer of around €50 million. This is much more than Barcelona's purchase option, which could give them an advantage.

Rashford is enjoying his time at the Spanish club and would like to stay. But if that doesn't work out, PSG could be a good option for him since their plans look very interesting.

KVARATSKHELIA DOUBLE: PSG SMASHES RENNES 5-0, STAYS ONE POINT FROM TOP

PSG Rebounds Hard

PSG got back on track in Ligue 1 with a solid 5-0 win against Rennes, thanks to two great goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. It was probably his best game since he joined the team.

The Georgian player was the star at the Parc des Princes, scoring in both halves. He kicked things off with an amazing run and a perfect shot. Later, he scored again from just outside the penalty area. PSG was in charge all night.

Kvaratskhelia Helps PSG Win After Recent Loss

After a tough 1-0 loss to Monaco, Luis Enrique’s team really needed to win to keep up with Lens, who are at the top of the league after beating Nantes 2-1. They couldn't afford to fall four points behind.

Even though several players were out with injuries—Désiré Doué, Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, Lucas Beraldo, Lucas Chevalier, and Illia Zabarnyi—PSG was totally in control. The only moment that made fans nervous was when Esteban Lepaul hit the post. Soon after, Lucas Hernández started the play that led to the first goal.

Kvaratskhelia ran fast with the ball, sped along the edge of the box, moved past several defenders, and fired a shot that no one could stop, putting PSG ahead.

Before the half ended, Senny Mayulu made it 2-0, finishing off a great pass from Joao Neves, which pretty much wrapped up the game early.

Rennes Falls Apart as PSG Takes Over

Any chance Rennes had of coming back was gone early in the second half. Kvaratskhelia scored again with a strong shot from the edge of the box. Then, Jérémy Jacquet was sent off after getting his second yellow card, leaving Rennes with only 10 players and no hope of winning.

With the game decided, Luis Enrique brought in some new players. Ousmane Dembélé kept getting back into shape after being injured, and Ibrahim Mbaye and Gonçalo Ramos both scored from long range near the end of the game.

This win keeps PSG just one point behind Lens. It gives the team a boost of confidence and shows that the defending champions can still lead the title race when their offence is working well.

MONACO DEFEAT: LUCAS CHEVALIER'S CAREER WAS "LUCKY" AFTER AWFUL TACKLE

PSG coach Luis Enrique was outraged after Camara's awful tackle on keeper Chevalier went unpunished by VAR in the 1-0 loss to Monaco.

Enrique Fumes as Unpunished Foul Fuels PSG Loss

Luis Enrique didn't hold back his feelings about Lamine Camara's awful challenge on Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier during their match against Monaco. The game ended with PSG losing 1-0 Saturday night. The loss stung, but the questionable foul on Chevalier early in the game was the main talking point since VAR didn't call it.

Chevalier's Close Call

PSG came into the match after a big 5-3 Champions League victory over Tottenham earlier in the week. However, everything changed when Monaco's midfielder Camara went in hard on Chevalier, hitting him right on the ankle. The referee only gave a yellow card, which shocked everyone on the PSG side. Chevalier was clearly in pain. For a moment, it looked like his night, and maybe his season, was over. Despite replays clearly showing Camara's tackle high on Chevalier's ankle, VAR didn't step in. After a few minutes, Chevalier was somehow able to keep playing.

Chevalier and Enrique Speak Out

Chevalier told BeIN Sports how serious the tackle was: I think everyone saw it... My career could have gone in another direction. I got lucky. I try not to think about it anymore; it is already over. Today I know that I was very lucky and that I'll be able to continue playing football every week.

Luis Enrique, who usually stays out of referee discussions, was clearly stunned.

He was very lucky. I'm not going to say anything more because it's not my place, but it's unbelievable... Lucas Chevalier was very lucky, he said to BeIN Sports.

Monaco Beats PSG

Monaco put the pressure on PSG in the first half. Chevalier had to make some key saves. PSG didn't have the same energy from their game against Tottenham. Their passes weren't sharp, and they kept losing the ball. Takumi Minamino scored the winning goal in the 68th minute, punishing PSG mistakes.

Monaco deserved to win because they controlled the game and found weaknesses in PSG's defence. With nine minutes left, Monaco's Thilo Kehrer got a red card for a foul that Turpin thought was a clear goal opportunity. PSG pushed hard at the end, but it wasn't enough.

A lot of things didn't go our way. We weren't good enough. Monaco was better, Chevalier told Ligue 1+. We tried hard at the end, but it wasn't enough. We've had some injuries, and we're playing a lot of games; it's a different season.

PSG's League Situation

This loss was PSG's first in the league since September. If other results don't go their way, PSG could drop to third in the Ligue 1 standings. They play Rennes soon, and Enrique knows they can't afford to lose more points. After the game, he was just glad Chevalier wasn't seriously hurt.
