According to reports, Rashford decided to leave Manchester United in January after losing his place in Rúben Amorim’s plans. At the time, it was said that Barcelona was interested in signing him. However, the move to Catalonia did not materialize, and the player joined Aston Villa on loan without a purchase clause to finish the season.

Now, reports suggest that the English star still intends to leave Manchester United in the summer transfer window. His good performance during his short spell at Aston Villa has strengthened his motivation for a permanent transfer, and he hopes this time his move to Barcelona will happen.

Fabrizio Romano, the renowned transfer journalist, confirmed in an interview with CaughtOffside that Barcelona is still interested in signing the English winger, as they are looking for a new left winger in the summer. Romano said: “Let me say that within Barcelona, they still believe Marcus Rashford could be one of the options for the summer transfer window.

Barcelona believes Rashford might be available in this market. They think Rashford could be a suitable option because he can play both as a number 9 striker and on the wings, so he can help the team in different positions and is of interest to Barcelona’s officials.

Barcelona was also keen on signing Rashford from Manchester United in January, but the transfer did not happen due to Ansu Fati’s non-departure and financial fair play issues. However, Rashford’s name is still on Barcelona’s potential signings list. If Rashford does not stay at Aston Villa, we will see what happens because he is one of the options being considered at Barcelona.”
