MU will not sell Rashford to Barcelona

Manager Ruben Amorim once again caused a stir when he left Marcus Rashford out of Manchester United's squad for the defeat to Bournemouth. This was the third time in a row that Rashford had been left out of important matches, including the win over Man City in the Premier League and the defeat to Tottenham in the League Cup. It is worth noting that the English striker was completely healthy and capable of playing, but Amorim still did not select him in the squad.

According to The Times, being left out of the squad has made Rashford ready to leave Manchester United in the winter transfer window of 2025. A source from Sky (Germany) said that MU is also ready to part with this striker if they receive a reasonable offer. Currently, Barcelona is the first team to officially send an offer, but it has been rejected by MU.

The Catalan club have proposed a loan deal for Rashford until the end of the 2024/25 season with an option to buy for £35m. However, Manchester United are determined not to accept this offer, as they want to earn at least £40m. This move shows that the Red Devils still value Rashford, despite the player having a difficult time at Old Trafford.

However, Rashford himself seems ready to seek a new challenge in a different league and environment. He is said to be interested in moving to Spain to experience a new football and culture. Barcelona are not the only team pursuing Rashford; other big clubs such as PSG, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Arsenal are also showing interest in the striker.

In addition, Rashford is also a target of clubs in Saudi Arabia, including Al Nassr, Al Hilal, Al Ittihad and Al Ahli. If he joins Al Nassr, he will have the opportunity to reunite with Cristiano Ronaldo - a legend who was his teammate at MU. However, according to close sources, Rashford still prioritizes staying in Europe to continue developing his career in the top leagues.

With a host of interest from big clubs, Rashford's future is becoming a hot topic in the upcoming January transfer window. The final decision will depend not only on the English striker's wishes but also on Manchester United's strategy under Ruben Amorim. Whatever the choice, this deal is sure to attract a lot of attention from fans and experts.
