As per Fichajes, PSG and Barcelona will be circling for the signature of Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford. The youngster has hit the right note this season, and a number of clubs are expected to vie for him.

But contract talks are scheduled to take place as the Red Devils very much want to have the player at their disposal. Erik ten Hag is also satisfied with his development this season. And with Cristiano Ronaldo no longer at Old Trafford, Rashford will have the luxury to fill in his boots.
Barcelona have been targeting players with shorter contract span as their current financial condition won’t allow them to spend out of their bounds. They also need to offload players to free more wages in an attempt to make room for new players.
Primarily a left winger the England international can also be deployed anywhere across the front three and it is his versatility, which is attracting Barcelona.
