The Red Devils are fully determined to secure a permanent sale for the England international this summer rather than sanctioning another temporary switch to Spain.
Old Trafford officials are ready to take a very firm stance regarding the immediate future of their high-profile forward this summer season. Manchester United will completely reject any further loan proposals from Barcelona for Marcus Rashford. The club heavily prefers a permanent resolution to the competitive transfer saga rather than another temporary arrangement.

The 28 year old forward spent the entirety of last season operating in La Liga on a successful temporary basis. During his lengthy stint in Spain, the attacker registered an impressive return of 14 goals and 14 assists across 49 appearances. Despite his clear desire to remain with the Catalan giants permanently, the Spanish club failed to trigger their fixed option.
Club chiefs have now openly invited prominent football agents to bring realistic permanent offers to the negotiation table immediately. The hierarchy is fully determined to cash in on the star to fund their own major summer recruitment plans. A clean break away from Old Trafford appears to be the most logical solution for all parties involved right now.

The national team manager spoke very highly of the player’s incredible work ethic and tactical focus inside the camp. “I told him that I’m very, very impressed with his last 16 days,” Tuchel told reporters after the match. The German manager also highly highlighted the intense competition for places between the forward and Newcastle star Anthony Gordon.
