After sacking Ruben Amorim, many believed that Marcus Rashford could return to Manchester United.
His impressive form at Barcelona has drawn attention from clubs like PSG and Atletico Madrid. Also, the Catalan giants are reportedly willing to keep the United academy graduate.
However, it is unlikely that Marcus Rashford will return and resume his United career. He is having a great time away from the club.
So, Manchester United plotted a plan to secure one of the brightest forwards in Europe to replace Rashford.
However, the latest decision from Marcus Rashford might have dented United’s hope of securing the forward.
Rashford is reportedly willing to extend his stay at Barcelona. Similarly, the Catalan giants are also happy with his progress and would like to keep the England international at the club.
However, they are unwilling to match the price United want for the player. Barcelona don’t want to pay €30 million.
They want to negotiate a lower price or bring Rashford to Camp Nou on loan against next season. His contract with Manchester United will expire in 2028.
So, United have time on their hands. And, they know that Rashford’s recent performances have drawn eyeballs towards the player from various European giants.
Paris Saint-Germain are seriously considering a move for Marcus Rashford. And, United were planning a swap deal involving Bradley Barcloa and Rashford with PSG.
However, according to CaughtOffside, Rashford’s decision to stay at Barcelona has dented any hope for such a deal.
PSG want €100 million for Barcola. So, by offering Rashford, United could have signed one of the most exciting wingers in Europe.
Also, Liverpool are showing interest in Barcola. However, it looks like United’s dream of signing the Frenchman has taken a hit because of Marcus Rashford’s willingness to join Barcelona.
