Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal has publicly backed Manchester United star Marcus Rashford amid rumours to Camp Nou.
Yamal Shows Support To Rashford Amid Barcelona Transfer Speculation
**Barcelona**’s star Lamine Yamal has shown his support for Marcus Rashford’s Barca move. There are rumours that the Man Utd forward is likely joining the La Liga club. Marcus’s issues with Utd boss Ruben Amorim has created worries about his stay. So, he is likely to leave Old Trafford this June.
The Englishman went on a loan to Aston Villa after a potential Barcelona transfer didn’t pan out. Villa included a £40 million option to buy at the end of the season. But, it seems they are not ready to make his permanent move yet. Given that, it has kept the door open for other clubs.
Interest from Barca’s sporting director Deco has only added fuel to the fire. While Barca has cooled its chase for now. They are focusing on current squad members. But, Yamal’s recent social media gesture brought the spotlight right back on Rashford’s potential move.
Teen Star Yamal and Marcus’s Mutual Respect Grows
Yamal liked Rashford’s Instagram post during his pre-season in Cannes, France. The caption, “Everyday hustle” reflects Rashford’s intent in returning to top form. And Lamine’s like didn’t go unnoticed by fans.
Despite being only 17, Yamal has already carved out a spot as a regular starter for Barcelona and Spain. He scored a brace recently in Spain’s 5-4 win over France in the Nations League semi-final. The Ballon d’Or shouts are already around him. The teenager’s nod to Rashford is a great sign of respect.
This isn’t the first time the two have interacted online. Rashford had previously called Yamal the “Young King” after his El Clasico goal. The Utd striker is hoping to end up in Catalonia. But, it’s clear there’s a growing bond between two talented forwards. They might end up playing together in Spain very soon.
