According to an update from SPORT, Barcelona are seriously considering the signing of Marcus Rashford, but not in the way Manchester United would prefer. The Blaugrana are aware of United’s €48

Rashford has been heavily linked with a move away from United for almost a year after spending the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa. Rashford has since returned to Old Trafford after Villa chose not to activate the £40 million option to buy him in the loan agreement.

The justification for this shift in stance—less than six weeks ago, Deco explicitly named Rashford as a player Barcelona “liked”—is the preference for Liverpool forward Luis Díaz. The Colombia international is deemed to be more versatile, more experienced and more willing to sacrifice himself for the good of the team than Rashford.
