There has been an update on Marcus Rashford’s future at Manchester United following his loan at Barcelona
Manchester United are reportedly prepared to turn down any loan offers for Marcus Rashford from Barcelona this summer. United have made their feelings clear about the England international’s future as the summer transfer window rolls on.
Rashford spent last season on loan at Barcelona, scoring 14 goals and providing 14 assists across 49 appearances across all competitions.
The 28-year-old made it clear last season that he wanted to sign for Barcelona on a permanent deal, but the Spanish giants opted against activating the £26million option to buy in the original loan move, which expired earlier this week.

Rashford is now with the England squad for this summer’s World Cup in North America, and there continues to be fresh updates about the forward’s future.
According to a report in ESPN, United are not willing to let Rashford join Barcelona on another loan deal, but are instead focusing on securing a permanent move this summer.
The report goes on to claim that United have “invited” agents to approach the club with realistic options of where Rashford could join on a permanent basis this summer.
United would have been delighted to see Rashford star for England in their 4-2 victory over Croatia in the World Cup on Wednesday night.
Rashford was not named in the starting line-up by Three Lions boss Thomas Tuchel, but made an impact from the bench and scored England’s final goal in Dallas to help secure the victory.
Tuchel praised Rashford’s performance against Croatia and explained why he has been impressed with the United star in training before and during the World Cup.

“He [Rashford] struggled for us to be decisive when he started, but he was always trying and got a bit unlucky for a long time,” Tuchel told reporters after England’s victory over Croatia.
“We just had a talk (on Tuesday) where I told him that I’m very, very impressed with his last 16 days – how he was in camp, how he pushes on the field.
“He is totally invested in every meeting. He is very, very fast in translating a meeting onto the pitch, what we want tactically.
“He pushes on a very respectful level with Anthony Gordon on the position, so at the moment he’s in a very good place.
“I was so happy that he was the one to unlock this long spell, where he was not decisive for us from within the game, and hopefully he can keep this up.”
