Rashford: Barça pulls off the perfect coup, United grows frustrated

Rashford to Barça: Manchester United feels trapped

The Marcus Rashford situation could quickly turn into a real headache for Manchester United. While the English forward has rediscovered his form during his loan at FC Barcelona, the Manchester club’s management reportedly already regrets the negotiated terms, believing that the Catalan side enjoys a deal that is far too favorable for a player who has become decisive again.

Manchester United has second thoughts about the deal

According to The Mirror, United is frustrated by the priority option granted to Barça, set at just £26 million—around €30 million. That amount is far below Rashford’s current estimated market value internally, especially as several clubs would be willing to offer more to sign the England international.

Rashford, for his part, reportedly wants to continue his adventure in Catalonia, where he has fully adapted. Hansi Flick sees him as a key long-term piece in his project, while Sir Jim Ratcliffe fears losing him for a bargain fee despite a contract running until 2028. It’s a delicate matter that could heavily influence the Red Devils’ summer strategy.
