Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is looking to fast-track the summer departure of Marcus Rashford. According to a report by Football Insider, Amorim has decided to let go of the 27-year-old academy graduate.
Rashford is a target for Spanish champions Barcelona, and it will be interesting to see if they can finalise the move quickly. He is a quality player who has not been at his best in recent months. A fresh start could help him rediscover his top form.
Barcelona are among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them is quite exciting for him. Having already proven himself in England, he will look to hit the ground running at the Spanish club. Competing for major trophies with Barcelona will surely be attractive, and the Englishman will hope the two clubs can secure an agreement soon.
Meanwhile, Manchester United will need to adequately replace a player of his quality. Despite his recent dip in form, Rashford is an experienced attacker with significant ability. Manchester United’s attacking unit was underwhelming last season, and it will be interesting to see if they can make the necessary additions.
Manchester United have already signed Matheus Cunha and are hoping to land Bryan Mbeumo as well, which should help strengthen their wide areas. It remains to be seen if they can bring in a quality centre-forward, too. The Red Devils need a consistent goalscorer, as their recent signings have failed to meet expectations.
Manchester United will be aiming for a return to the UEFA Champions League next year, and bringing in quality players will be key to that. Meanwhile, Barcelona need more depth in the final third, and signing the versatile Manchester United attacker could be an ideal solution for them as well.
The Blaugrana managed to win the league title last season, but they failed to win the UEFA Champions League. Signing a quality attacker could help them do well in Europe as well.
