Marcus Rashford handed Man Utd escape route as surprise club ‘joins race to sign him’ before deadline day
According to a report, a new and unexpected club has entered the competition to acquire Marcus Rashford from Manchester United this summer.
Marcus Rashford began the 2024/25 season by playing the full 90 minutes in Manchester United’s 1-0 victory over Fulham at Old Trafford. Despite a challenging previous season that led to his exclusion from England’s Euro 2024 squad, Rashford’s absence allowed him to have a full pre-season with United under Erik ten Hag. Whether this pre-season will benefit United or attract interest from other clubs remains uncertain.
According to Goal, Barcelona has now entered the competition to sign Rashford. The Spanish club is on the verge of transferring midfielder Ilkay Gundogan back to Manchester City, a move that could generate funds for new signings. This transfer is partly driven by the €57 million investment in RB Leipzig’s Dani Olmo.
Goal reports that Barcelona’s manager, Hansi Flick, has specifically requested Rashford, seeking a left winger with strong dribbling and shooting abilities for his squad.Les Cules have failed in their attempt to sign Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams, who impressed at Euro 2024 with Spain, and are now focusing on English football.
Earlier this week, Flick suggested that acquiring new players might be challenging for the rest of the transfer window, as Barcelona has encountered difficulties registering new signings for La Liga.
He remarked: “I remain optimistic, but there’s still time left. I have faith in the club. We have more players available, and I hope they return from injury soon.
“I’m actually satisfied with the players we have. When I signed my contract, I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but considering the number of injured players, I am eager for their return.” According to a report, a new and unexpected club has entered the competition to acquire Marcus Rashford from Manchester United this summer.
