Barcelona are interested in acquiring the services of Manchester United star Marcus Rashford whose future has been uncertain of late.
Manchester United are expected to make quite a few changes to their squad in the upcoming winter transfer window as they look to shape Ruben Amorim’s squad. Marcus Rashford is one of their stars whose future is uncertain at this stage.
The Manchester United academy graduate needs to fight for a place in the Portuguese manager’s team as he is no longer a regular starter. According to a report from GiveMeSport, Rahsford is considering his future at the club, and Barcelona have emerged as a potential destination.
The English international has been contemplating whether to leave Old Trafford over the past 12 months, and if he does not get the desired role, he can certainly choose to walk away.
Marcus Rashford got promoted to their first team back in 2016 and slowly established himself as a key figure. While he was at the peak of his powers during the 2022/23 season, things have only gone downhill for him in recent seasons.
Rashford could part ways with United
Having not had the best of starts under Erik ten Hag in the 2024/25 season, Marcus Rashford now finds himself in a difficult spot as he has been forced to fight for a place in the team under new boss Amorim.
The English international is seriously considering moving on from his childhood club for the sake of his own career. Meanwhile, the Red Devils are also open to letting go of their star as it will result in a significant increase in their transfer budget. Not only will they receive a decent fee, but it will also be a massive boost for their wage bill as Rashford is their join-second highest paid player earning a wage of £300,000 per week.
Manchester United were ready to sanction his departure in the summer for over £70 million. While he ended up staying at the club, the possibility of him leaving Old Trafford has emerged once again. People at the club are concerned about his lifestyle and it is one of the major reasons why they are considering letting him go.
Barcelona’s interest in Marcus Rashford
Barcelona could knock on Manchester United’s door for his signature. While they have their financial struggles, they could look to figure out a way to bring the English international to Spain. He is only 27 and can surely turn things around and return to his best.
While the Catalan giants are keen on his signature, a potential deal will depend on whether Rashford manages to fit into Amorim’s system or not. If he clicks under the former Sporting CP boss, Manchester United will try their best to keep hold of their academy product.
