Man United’s Marcus Rashford decision becomes clear as negotiations reopen

Manchester United and Barcelona are set to reopen negotiations next week on Marcus Rashford’s future in the hope of constructing a deal.

There is an agreement in place for Barcelona to buy the forward for €30m but it is understood the Catalan club want to revisit terms due to a restricted budget.

Rashford is keen to stay at Camp Nou after a successful season that has brought a league title, but there is the possibility he returns to United in July.

The Old Trafford hierarchy would prefer to make a sale as they look to rebuild the squad elsewhere - especially in midfield - but another loan deal is a possibility.

Bayern Munich are also understood to be monitoring the situation. Mikel Arteta, meanwhile, likes Rashford as a player. Arsenal have a list of potential left forward targets - a main priority for the summer.

Any deal, though, would depend on opportunity. The complexities of the situation mean that negotiations could go on some time - potentially to late in the window.
