Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Barcelona defender Andreas Christensen, whose exit could facilitate an exit for Marcus Rashford.
Andreas Christensen could help free up the funds for Barcelona to sign Marcus Rashford. The Catalan giants are keen on signing the Manchester United attacker, but they need a financial boost to get the deal done. According to a report by Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, Christensen could be the solution to their financial problems.
Meanwhile, a report from Spanish publication Sport has claimed that Manchester United are keen on signing the former Chelsea defender. It will be interesting to see if the two clubs can negotiate a deal that benefits them both.
Christensen is a proven performer in the Premier League and the 28-year-old could help Manchester United tighten up at the back. The Red Devils have looked quite vulnerable defensively despite signing two central defenders at the start of the season. They have already let in 32 league goals and they need to bring in a quality defender. Christensen could help them improve during the second half of the season.
Rashford could be keen on Barcelona move
Meanwhile, Rashford has struggled for regular game time at Manchester United and he needs to leave the club. Regular football at Barcelona could help him get his career back on track.
Barcelona are one of the biggest clubs in the world and the opportunity to play for them can be quite attractive for most players. The 27-year-old Premier League forward will be attracted to the idea of joining them and it remains to be seen whether the two clubs can negotiate a deal before the window closes.
Manchester United will have to convince the Barcelona defender to join them as well. They are currently struggling in the league and they need to convince the player of their ambitions and their potential to win trophies in the coming seasons.
Christensen has the experience of playing for a big club and he could settle in just fine at Old Trafford. He has one major trophies with Chelsea during his time in England and his experience could prove to be vital for Manchester United.
