Marcus Rashford is reportedly trying to convince midfielder Paul Pogba to stay at Manchester United, amid links with a potential summer move to Paris Saint-Germain.

Marcus Rashford is reportedly trying to convince midfielder Paul Pogba to stay at Manchester United.

The Frenchman, who has just one year remaining on his contract, has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford, with Paris Saint-Germain the current frontrunners for his signature.

United could be forced to sell the 28-year-old this summer as he would be able to leave the club for free in a year's time, if a new deal is not agreed.

According to The Sun, Rashford is one of several first-team players at United who has spoken to Pogba, encouraging him to remain in Manchester.

The report also states that Pogba's teammates are doing "everything" they can to convince him to stay and they believe he is a "key man" and a "leader" in the dressing room.

In addition, the imminent arrival of Pogba's compatriot Raphael Varane, who has agreed to join form Real Madrid, could help the midfielder change his mind.

Pogba has made 199 appearances across all competitions for United since his arrival from Juventus in 2016, scoring 38 goals and providing 42 assists.
