Football transfer news reporter Fabrizio Romano has given an update on Marcus Rashford’s situation at Manchester United.
Rashford spent the second half of the season on loan at Aston Villa having fallen out with head coach Ruben Amorim in December. His time with Unai Emery’s side has broadly been considered a success, though his campaign has been ended prematurely by injury.
Villa are unlikely to retain the England winger due to his costly wages, plunging the forward’s future into doubt.

Rashford's dream Barcelona move still on, says Romano
One important possibility that has emerged for Rashford is Barcelona, a club that he considers to be his “dream” move. And Romano says that the Blaugrana should be seen as a legitimate possibility.
“Internally at Barcelona they still believe that Marcus Rashford could be an option for the summer transfer window,” Romano stated on YouTube.
“They believe at Barcelona that Rashford might be available on the market. They believe at Barcelona that Rashford could be a good solution because he can play as a No 9 and play on the wing, so he can help in several positions.
“He’s a player appreciated by those at Barcelona. They already wanted Rashford in January, it didn’t happen because Ansu Fati didn’t leave and so in terms of FFP it was not possible to balance the deal.
“But Marcus Rashford remains in the list of Barcelona and so if Rashford is not staying at Aston Villa we will see what happens. He’s one of the options under consideration at Barcelona.
“Then it will depend on FFP, on deal conditions, on more clubs being keen on the player and on what he decides to do.
“We will see on Rashford’s side, but on club side one of the names being mentioned internally at Barcelona is for sure Marcus Rashford.”
Reports had previously indicated that Barcelona were unwilling to match Man Utd’s demands of a €35 million fee for the player, despite Rashford having an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of €53.6m.
Despite this, Romano reports that the possibility of the player’s dream move coming true remains very much alive.
