United Rule Out Rashford Return as Barcelona Stall on Permanent Deal

1 / 2

Manchester United have decided they will not bring Marcus Rashford back from his loan spell this summer. The forward is viewed as surplus to requirements as the club looks to reduce its wage bill. Barcelona hold a £26 million option to sign the England international permanently but have yet to trigger the clause. Rashford’s playing time and form dipped at the end of the season, and he hasn’t started in their last five matches. With the buy-out deadline looming on June 15, United remain focused on offloading his £325,000-a-week salary. Fans will watch closely to see if Barcelona finally make up their minds.
