Marcus Rashford: Barcelona getting closer to signing Manchester United forward as he continues to train alone
Manchester United star Marcus Rashford has fallen out of favour with manager Ruben Amorim and is set for a move to Barcelona.
A move may be on the cards to Barcelona for Manchester United’s forward Marcus Rashford. The 27-year-old-star, who has fallen out of favour with manager Ruben Anorim, has been training alone.
After Ruben Anorim joined Manchester United in November of last year, Marcus Rashford spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa. In June of this year, Marcus Rashford spoke to Spanish YouTube channel XBuyer in Marbella and revealed that he was keen to play alongside superstar Lamine Yamal. Rashford said: "Yeah, sure. Everybody in the world wants to play with the best. So hopefully, we'll see..."
Rashford also said: (Yamal) is gonna be… it’s difficult to put into words what he’s doing because he’s not supposed to be doing it at 16, 17.
“He’s playing at the highest level, I don’t think we’ve seen it. To have his mentality is a skill.
“He’s not normal to be doing what he does and he will keep improving.
“(The Ballon d’Or) If you look at it in football ability he has to win, but then you look at Ousmane Dembele, the Champions League…”
Whilst he was on holiday in Spain, Marcus Rashford also said: "Spain is nice, it's not too far from home and also revealed that “If I'm training over a long period, my family can come for a few days, it's a nice location and good weather."
According to David Ornstein, football correspondent for The Athletic, Marcus Rashford could be on his way to Spain shortly, and more specifically, Barcelona.
