Ralf Rangnick has responded to reports Marcus Rashford is considering leaving Manchester United this summer.
The 24-year-old has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford after losing his place in United’s starting XI, with several Premier League clubs – as well as Paris Saint-Germain – rumoured to be interested.
Reports emerged that the 24-year-old was considering his future having been named among the substitutes at City, where he would underwhelm as a second-half introduction.
“I spoke with him yesterday and the day before yesterday so I don’t know anything about that,” Rangnick said.
“In my 25 years of professional football, I have been deciding not to take too much notice of things happening in the media.
“He didn’t say anything to me. He said to me that he’s still happy and that he wants to perform on a high level here for the club. He didn’t mention a thing about not being happy here.”
Rangnick is only interested in making sure Rashford “gets the best version of himself”, saying any talk about his future can wait until the summer with his deal – which includes a one-year extension clause – expiring in 2023.
“I don’t think that he’s not had enough game time,” Rangnick said. “In those 13, 14 games that I’ve been here now, he played more games from the start than he didn’t play from the start, so I don’t think that this is an issue. He never said anything about that when we spoke yesterday.
“But again, I mean, the window is closed right now. Even in case suppose he and his agents or his family at one stage of the summer think about maybe going to another club, well then he can do that but in the summer.
“Now the window is closed and it’s got nothing to do with tomorrow’s game or the game on Tuesday.”
