Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford's camp recently met with Barcelona to discuss a potential move ahead of the summer transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano.
It's been a difficult few years for Rashford at Old Trafford, struggling to hit the heights he once did when he came through the academy. A loan to Aston Villa in the January window gave him an opportunity to turn things around, and we certainly saw an upturn in form from the England international.
Rashford will now return to United with his loan spell over, and Villa are yet to sign him on a permanent deal. Whether they decide to secure his signature for the long term remains to be seen, but there's a strong chance he leaves the club with Ruben Amorim axing him from the squad as soon as he arrived.

According to Italian journalist Romano, Rashford's camp met with Barcelona on Wednesday to discuss a potential move ahead of the summer window. The pacey forward will be available for a fee of £40m, while he's one of four options on Barcelona's shortlist.
"Marcus Rashford will be available for all clubs for £40m. He remains on Barça shortlist since January, when deal didn’t happen as no sale took place. His camp met with Barcelona again today, as
@tjuanmarti reports as Rashford is one of 4 options on Barça list."

Rashford reportedly earns around £350,000-a-week at Old Trafford, so it certainly isn't a surprise that they are willing to offload him in the summer. United aren't currently receiving value for their money, considering they allowed him to depart on loan in January.
A move to Barcelona would be an interesting one for Rashford, and maybe venturing abroad, away from the English media, is what he needs to get his career back on track, despite showing signs of improvement at Villa.
