Rashford hints at interest in Barcelona move

Marcus Rashford has hinted that he would be open to a move to Barcelona this summer and has said he would ‘love to play with Lamine Yamal’.

Rashford is weighing up his options after returning to Manchester United from a loan spell at Aston Villa last season.

The 27-year-old scored four times and added six assists during an encouraging spell at Villa, who have the option to sign Rashford for £40m this summer. However, neither Villa or Rashford have committed to a permanent move.

Manchester United have also set that asking price for other clubs with Barcelona among those linked with the England international.

The Spanish side’s move for Nico Williams could complicate an additional pursuit of Rashford, but the player has suggested he would be keen on the move to La Liga.

Speaking to the Spanish YouTube channel xBuyer, Rashford was full of praise for Barcelona teenager Yamal and spoke of his interest in playing alongside the Spaniard.

“It’s difficult to put into words what he’s doing, because he’s not supposed to be doing that at 16, 17. I don’t think we’ve seen it before. For sure (I’d love to play with Lamine Yamal). Everyone in the world wants to play with the best. Hopefully, we’ll see.”
