Surprise update on Marcus Rashford’s Barcelona future | OneFootball

A head-turning update on the future of Marcus Rashford at Barcelona beyond next summer has come to the fore early this week.

This comes amid the revelation that, as things stand, the Englishman returning to Manchester United following the term’s conclusion is considered likely.

The info comes courtesy of The Athletic, who assure that:

‘If Marcus Rashford ends up leaving after his loan, which is the most probable scenario, Barca could be after a replacement.’

Rashford is for his part of course in the midst of what has been a productive loan spell to date in La Liga.

After joining Barcelona with a view to acting as a versatile backup across the frontline for the duration of the campaign, the injury woes in Hansi Flick’s squad saw the 28-year-old cast into a leading role.

And Rashford has responded in impressive fashion, to the tune of 15 direct goal contributions.

Such production had given rise to inevitable speculation that the Camp Nou brass would seek out a permanent deal for the attacker next summer, but as alluded to above, as of this moment, as much looks increasingly unlikely.
