In Manchester, Marcus Rashford is discreetly sorting through his things, uncertain if he’ll ever return.
Officially, he has returned to Old Trafford after completing a loan with Aston Villa on June 30.
However, he anticipates a brief stay. The England forward is getting ready for a preseason that may kick off under the sunny skies of Catalonia rather than the dull weather of Carrington.
Manchester United is actively looking for ways to modify their squad and generate revenue, placing Rashford in the spotlight as a likely candidate to leave.
Barcelona considers him a flexible addition that could enhance Hansi Flick’s attacking options, assuming a feasible financial arrangement can be reached.
Despite financial difficulties at Barcelona, a loan with a potential buy option has been proposed. While United favors a full transfer, they may have to come to terms if no outright offers materialize.
Marcus Rashford’s Intentions Are Clear
As reported by Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna, Rashford is eager to make the switch to Barcelona and is prepared to lower his salary expectations to facilitate the transfer.

Negotiations between the teams are expected to take place shortly to evaluate the practicality of the loan-plus-purchase arrangement.
With Nico Williams extending his contract at Athletic Club and Liverpool dismissing interest in Diaz, Barcelona is now fully focused on Rashford.
