The name of wide-man Rashford has of course returned to the forefront of the headlines in Catalunya’s capital over the last 24 horus.

This comes after the Englishman’s agent was spotted in a hotel in Barcelona, awaiting a meeting with Blaugrana sporting director Deco.

Barca are understood to have shifted focus towards Rashford amid struggles in finding a deal with Liverpool for priority target Luis Díaz.

In turn, it may come as something of a surprise to hear that Deco himself is not fully sold on Rashford’s talents.

As per a report from MD:

‘Luis Díaz is Deco’s priority, and he also has Rashford as an alternative, but he’s not as convinced by the Englishman.’
