Marcus Rashford’s prospects of moving to Barcelona have supposedly suffered a blow at the same as a new report claims that the Manchester United forward “never asked to leave” his boyhood club.
Rashford has been left in something of a transfer limbo this summer. After impressing on loan with Aston Villa during the second half of the 2024–25 campaign, Unai Emery’s side opted against triggering a £40 million ($54.6 million) buy option to make the move permanent. The England international has spent much of the subsequent off-season heavily hinting at a desired move to Barcelona.
