Rashford, a 27-year-old England international, had a resurgence in form while on loan at Aston Villa, but Manchester United's failure to secure a spot in the Champions League means they cannot retain his services permanently.

The player's relationship with Ruben Amorim has deteriorated, and it is still expected that he will leave Manchester United this summer. Rashford remains a sought-after player, with several teams expressing interest in his services.

Barcelona is keen on signing Rashford, but they are hesitant to meet Manchester United's demands. Instead, they are considering a one-year loan deal, offering €5-10 million, rather than a permanent transfer.

Barcelona is also exploring other options, including Liverpool's Luis Diaz and Arsenal's Gabriel Martinelli, to strengthen their attacking lineup.
