Marcus Rashford: Man United star devises brilliant plan to end transfer impasse

What a revelation Marcus Rashford has been at Barcelona.

With a lot to prove heading out to Catalonia, the Manchester United winger has gone ahead and become a massive hit.

Fourteen goals and 14 assists in 48 games: Rashford has been a force to be reckoned with in Spain.

Based on his numbers and performances, Barcelona securing him for the £26 million option to buy they agreed upon when striking his loan deal now looks like an absolute bargain.

But while some feel they are massively underpaying by striking that deal, their tricky financial situation has left them struggling to close it.

Interestingly, the Spanish champions are insisting on a further discount, though INEOS are not willing to lower their demands.

Another loan has been floated, but United are not entertaining that either; they simply want Barcelona to honour the terms already agreed.

So there is, then, something of an impasse.

But Rashford, who is desperate to stay at Barcelona, a desire reinforced by manager Hansi Flick publicly endorsing the transfer, has hatched a plan to give both clubs what they want.
