Manchester United are already close to offloading Jadon Sancho this summer, but now a fresh report claims that another Old Trafford star could join him in Italy, while Marcus Rashford’s loan switch to Barcelona has now been signed off.

The forward was meant to spend his whole career at the local club where it began but this loan move to Barcelona makes sense on many levels

On average per 90 minutes in the Premier League last season, Rashford made just 0.59 tackles and won only a third of the tackles he attempted. He made 4.12 duels, winning just 31.5% and recovered the ball 1.

Marcus Rashford has been warned he’s going to have a battle on his hands to make it into the Barcelona XI after he joins from Manchester United. The forward is set to arrive on a season-long loan but faces competition for a place in the line-up from Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, Raphinha and Ferran Torres.

Marcus Rashford has already been introduced to the side of Barcelona which Gary Lineker described as “occasionally bonkers”.
