Man United and Barça Discuss Marcus Rashford Loan Move
As the January transfer deadline approaches, Man United and Barça are reportedly in talks over a potential loan move for Marcus Rashford. The England forward has fallen out of favor at Old Trafford, with manager Ruben Amorim recently criticizing his commitment.
Rashford Out of Favor at Man United
Rashford, who has been sidelined from Man United’s first team, has been linked with several clubs this January, including AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund, and Barça. Amorim’s public comments on the forward’s attitude have fueled speculation about Rashford’s future.
Barça Interested, But Financial Challenges Persist
Barcelona are keen to add Rashford to their offensive lineup under manager Hansi Flick. However, due to the club’s ongoing financial issues, fitting Rashford into their wage structure has been a challenge. The departures of Pau Prim and Unai Hernandez could open up enough room in the budget to finalize the loan move.
Rashford Open to Wage Cut for Barça Move
Rashford, who currently earns over £300,000 per week at Man United, is reportedly willing to take a wage cut to join Barça on loan. This flexibility could help Barcelona push the deal over the line despite their financial struggles.
Transfer Deadline Looms
With the winter transfer window closing on February 3, time is running out for Man United and Barça to reach an agreement. If the loan move doesn’t go through, Rashford is likely to remain out of the first team at Old Trafford, with Amorim insisting the forward must address his attitude before being reinstated.
