Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford has been on loan at Barcelona since July. The player’s camp targeted the Catalan club ahead of the summer, managed to secure a deal, and it’s worked well so far.
The 28-year-old has six goals and nine assists from 16 matches for the La Liga winners.
Rashford’s form for Barcelona has helped him regain his place with England for the last three international breaks.
The Manchester United owned player has this week left the England camp to return to Barcelona. Sport now report he didn’t take part in today’s training, and wasn’t at the club’s facilities.
Even the mildest event can turn into a big drama in the Catalan media, and Barcelona have moved to calm everything before unnecessary drama starts over a potential injury or similar.
Sport have therefore contacted the club and been told there’s no big issue and it’s ‘nothing serious’.
Manchester United clause seen as excellent price

Barca are set to face Athletic Club Bilbao in the league on Saturday. It’s unclear whether the Manchester United man will be available for the match.
As a part of the loan deal, Hansi Flick’s side have agreed a buying option with the Red Devils. Barcelona sporting director Deco said in September that the purchase clause isn’t that high.
Last month, Marca reported the purchase option is set at €30m. They also indicated this is an excellent price for Barcelona to buy Rashford from Manchester United.
