The transfer deal between Manchester United and Barcelona, which includes an option-to-buy clause worth around £28 million, has been reported. Barcelona is considering exercising this option, which could lead to Rashford joining the Catalan side. However, Rashford has expressed a desire to make a permanent move to Barcelona, but a decision will be made by the club at the end of the season.

A move to Spain could impact Rashford's chances of being selected for the World Cup team, as England manager Thomas Tuchel keeps a close eye on the player.
