Barcelona’s €30m option to sign Marcus Rashford on a permanent basis following his loan spell at Camp Nou expired yesterday.
Despite Rashford’s desire to stay in Catalonia, the likelihood of Barcelona triggering that clause has appeared remote for months, but especially following Anthony Gordon’s €80m signing from Newcastle.
Rashford’s salary of more than £300,000-per-week — making him one of United’s highest-paid players — could see any exit run later into the summer, at which point the 28-year-old will have returned for pre-season training at Carrington. United face the same challenge in finding suitors for Andre Onana.
United are open to listening to offers for Manuel Ugarte and Joshua Zirkzee, whose playing time was limited towards the end of the season under Michael Carrick.
