Rashford’s true stance on United return emerges amid Barcelona uncertainty

Marcus Rashford’s true feelings on a potential return to Manchester United have been revealed, even as question marks linger over a Barcelona stay.

Barcelona dither

Rashford has enjoyed a productive loan at Barcelona, having joined the club last summer from United. He fell out of favour under then-manager Ruben Amorim, prompting the club to offload him.

Multiple suitors expressed an interest but Rashford made it clear he was only interested in a switch to the Blaugrana. He eventually got his dream wish and wasted no time in making himself a key part of the team amidst injuries in their attacking department.

While Rashford’s playing time over the past weeks has somewhat reduced, he still boasts an impressive 13 goals and 14 assists across all competitions. Yet, Barcelona are yet to clearly indicate whether or not they will exercise the £26m option to make his season-long loan a permanent move.

Barcelona are believed to want another loan or a reduction in the fee. United have made it clear there is no room for fresh discussions. There were suggestions that United would prefer to welcome Rashford back rather than give in to Barcelona’s demands.
