Marcus Rashford being 'picky' over Manchester United exit after wanting a "new challenge"


The Manchester United winger seems to be on his way out of Old Trafford, after previously telling the media that he was “ready for a new challenge”. Since then, he has barely featured for the club, and his departure is almost inevitable.
At least, it would be if he wasn’t being fussy about which club he moved to. Last summer, it was rumoured he could move to Paris Saint-Germain, but that door might now be closed.

This is because Rashford would prefer to stay in Europe and play for a competitive side.
TalkSport has reported that Rashford’s dream destination is Barcelona, which is quite ambitious for a footballer who has been frozen out of his current team; not to mention the fact Barcelona cannot even register their own players like Dani Olmo, let alone get new ones on their books.
His other options include Borussia Dortmund and Napoli, with the latter willing to exchange Victor Osimhen to get a deal over the line.
