Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has recently expressed his desire to leave the club where he grew up, seeking a ‘new challenge’ in his career.
The Red Devils are reportedly exploring the possibility of selling him as early as the January 2025 transfer window, although they acknowledge this could prove challenging.
Barcelona, who have long admired Rashford, are rumored to be interested in signing him. If their finances improve, they may pursue a move in the summer of 2025.
While Rashford has faced inconsistency at times, he is known for his impressive pace, dribbling, and ability to score from difficult positions, particularly when playing on the left wing.
Should Barcelona sign him, it would be to strengthen their left-wing options, allowing Raphinha to move into a more central role.
Rashford’s ability to cut in from the left would add variety to their attacking play. Although he can also play as a center-forward, it is unlikely he would be seen as a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski.
