Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has again hinted at a move to Barcelona, ​​saying he would love to play alongside Lamine Yamal.

Rashford is set to leave Manchester United permanently this summer after falling out of Ruben Amorim’s plans. 

Amorim let Rashford leave the team to สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน Aston Villa on loan in the winter market last season, where he performed well again.

The England striker has been linked with a number of clubs. Including Inter Milan, Juventus, Bayern, Napoli and Newcastle, but he is keen on a move to Barcelona.  

Rashford recently said during an interview: “Do I want to play with Lamine? Of course. Everyone wants to play with the best players. Hopefully we’ll see.”

Rashford’s representatives reportedly met with Barca officials in January and May. But the negotiations were at a preliminary level and the Spanish giants needed to sell the player first to adjust their wage bill under FFP rules.

Barcelona’s financial problems mean they have limited funds for transfers while United had hoped to raise £40m for Rashford.

The 27-year-old has not played for his hometown club since December. When manager Ruben Amorim dropped him for the Manchester derby and only named him on the bench once more before he joined Aston Villa on loan.

Rashford played well for Villa, albeit while only scoring four goals in 17 games. But while the Midlands club had a £40m option to buy him. That is less likely after they failed to qualify for the Champions League.
