According to reports, Barcelona wants to set up a temporary loan agreement with Manchester United instead. This would allow Rashford to play for Barcelona without a long-term commitment.

Rashford spent the second half of last season on loan with Aston Villa, where he performed well and scored some impressive goals. Villa has the option to buy him permanently for £40 million, but Rashford is looking for a new challenge and is interested in joining a top European club like Barcelona.
