Marcus Rashford Transfer News: Manchester United Star Expected to Leave Old Trafford
The Daily Mirror reports that Marcus Rashford is expected to leave Manchester United in the coming weeks, with the 27-year-old’s future at Old Trafford uncertain. According to the publication, Rashford has announced his return to fitness ahead of a summer transfer, following a loan spell at Aston Villa.
The Manchester United academy product fell out of favour at United following the arrival of Ruben Amorim and was unable to make matchday squads before moving on loan to Aston Villa. The Daily Mirror states that Rashford’s performances in the Midlands earned him a place in Thomas Tuchel’s England squad as he found some positive momentum.
However, the forward saw his season end prematurely due to injury and now is reminding potential suitors of his availability as he puts in work on the training ground. The Daily Mirror reports that Rashford missed the final month of the season with a hamstring injury.
In a positive signal to potential suitors, Rashford has shared a video of himself conducting drills on the training ground, captioned: "Feeling good again." The Daily Mirror notes that this is a telling indication that Rashford is on the road to recovery and could be a attractive proposition for clubs looking to strengthen their attacking options.
The publication reports that Aston Villa held an option to sign Rashford permanently for £40million but are unlikely to trigger that clause, with Rashford’s ambition to move to a Champions League club. A switch to Barcelona is said to be his preference, with the Catalan club also interested in the move.
According to the Daily Mirror, Rashford’s agent and brother, Dwaine Maynard, was seen meeting with Deco in Catalunya. Deco has admitted that Barcelona are interested in reinforcing their forward line, stating: "In attack, it will depend on what we can do in the market. But perhaps it is the only sector in which we identify that one or another player is missing."
The Daily Mirror notes that Rashford may be required to be patient for any prospective move to Camp Nou, with Barcelona’s priority currently tying down their current players. Deco told BBC Sport: "We have been focusing on renewing contracts, after that, we’ll discuss players to come. Of course, these two players, like you mentioned, they are good but have contracts in their clubs, so we won’t speak because it’s not fair."
The potential transfer has sparked interest among fans, with many speculating about Rashford’s future. As the Daily Mirror reports, Manchester United’s loss could be another club’s gain, with Rashford looking to secure a move to a Champions League club.
