Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford is reportedly anticipating an offer from Barcelona, following the transfer of his No. 10 jersey to new signing Matheus Cunha at Old Trafford. Rashford, who spent the last six months on loan at Aston Villa after a falling out with head coach Ruben Amorim, has returned to Manchester United after his loan deal expired last month.
Barcelona has been keen on acquiring Rashford since last year, but negotiations with Manchester United have not yet yielded a transfer agreement. With their primary target Nico Williams signing a new deal with Athletic Bilbao, Barcelona is now turning their attention to other options, including Liverpool winger Luis Diaz and Marcus Rashford.
Recent reports from Sky Sports have indicated that Rashford is among several players who have expressed their desire to leave Manchester United, resulting in a delay in their return dates to allow for resolution of their futures. Cadena SER has suggested that Rashford is eagerly awaiting a call from Barcelona, with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirming Rashford’s preference for a move to the Catalan club.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Rashford is willing to take a pay cut to secure a move to Barcelona and has communicated his desire to play for the club. Despite his strained relationship with Ruben Amorim, Rashford is expected to participate in Manchester United’s preseason tour, as reported by The Independent. The 27-year-old is set to return to full training with the squad after spending his summer break working with a personal trainer near Marbella.
United reportedly have a £40 million buy option in Rashford’s contract, but they are currently favoring a loan deal. Despite the uncertainty surrounding Rashford’s future at Manchester United, the forward remains hopeful of a move to Barcelona. Edited by Ezekiel Olamide, a European football journalist covering breaking news and transfer rumors, the situation remains fluid as Rashford awaits a potential offer from Barcelona.
