Marcus Rashford still faces an uncertain future with time ticking down for Barcelona to make a decision on whether or not they want to keep him permanently.
The Manchester United forward spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa after falling out of favour under then-manager Ruben Amorim, and struck out on a temporary move against last summer by making a season-long switch to Barcelona.
Rashford has featured regularly for Barca this season - albeit mostly from the bench over the past couple of months - and has contributed a respectable ten goals and 13 assists in 39 appearances in all competitions, despite some inconsistency in his performances.
Barcelona still yet to make final call on permanent Marcus Rashford transfer
That loan deal has been confirmed to contain a clause that would allow Barcelona to make the move permanent for a fee of €30m (£26.2m).
United have also been reported to be unwilling to re-negotiate that fee with Barca, leaving them with a 'take him or leave him' decision to make.
The Spanish language branch of ESPN now write that Barcelona only have until June 15 to make their final call on Rashford.
There is currently no certainty that the Catalan giants will look to do that, with the newly re-elected president Joan Laporta (who will return to the post on July 1) indicating that they might instead look to extend the loan.
Laporta told Jijantes last month: "We could extend the loan further; it depends on what [sporting director] Deco wants.
"There are options: include part of the purchase option with United and we'll see about the rest. We're studying the deal."
If Barcelona don't make Rashford's stay a longer one by whatever mechanism, he would return to Manchester United in an uncertain position.
The England international is under contract until summer 2028, and could get a new slate under a new manager having also failed to impress Erik ten Hag before Amorim took over.
However, Rashford is believed to be United's highest-paid player, and if it is deemed those wages could be better spent elsewhere, he may once again have a difficult time forcing his way back into the side.
