Marcus Rashford’s stance on his Man Utd future revealed as outcast continues flying start to life at Barcelona

According to the central European edition of Sky Sports out of Switzerland, Rashford wants to make his stay at Barcelona permanent. The club are described as “closely monitoring” how things are going. Already known, the option to buy stands at £28 million ($37m), which is reportedly significantly less than United would ask from other clubs – that figure is now as much as £40m ($53m). Ultimately, the better Rashford performs, the more the Red Devils might be able to demand in an open market if, for whatever reason, Barcelona do not use their lower-priced option.

Speaking last week about his situation, Rashford told ESPN: “I’m enjoying this football club and I think for anybody who loves football, Barcelona is one of the key clubs in the history of the game. For a player it is an honour.”
