Reports in England claim that Adrien Rabiot has rejected Manchester United’s huge £170,000-a-week contract.

The Frenchman is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer this summer after falling out with the club’s hierarchy and is keen on a move to the Premier League.

He is however reportedly keen to join to close rivals Liverpool.

According to the Daily Mail, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to add the France international as part of his rebuilding plans, and the club have tabled a deal worth around £9million a year with a £4.5m signing-on.

While Rabiot is tempted by the size of the deal, he is a huge admirer of Steven Gerrard and would prefer to join the newly-crowned Champions League winners.

He was also the subject of interest from Tottenham, Barcelona and Juventus, but excessive wage demands prevented a move for him in January.

In all, the youth product has made 224 appearances and scored 24 goals for his hometown club since his debut in 2012.
