Marcus Rashford, Manchester United striker, welcomes the option of signing for FC Barcelona, ​​a club that was already interested in him in the past, due to the situation in the Red Devils, where there is a overbooking of attackers.

Rashford, who ends his contract with United in June 2023, although the English club reserves the possibility of extending the agreement with the player for a year if it so wishes, is aware that this season his options to play have been reduced, due to which begins to test the possibility of leaving, according to information developed by the agency Efe.

The interest of FC Barcelona is not new, since three years ago, the Blaugrana team contacted him to sign him, but he decided to renew his contract with the English entity. The situation is different now, after several conversations between the club and the player to renew, but with no offers still on the table.

Paris Saint-Germain, who has already contacted Rashford representatives, could join the bid for the England forward.

The current moment of FC Barcelona, ​​in full reconstruction, does not worry the English player, who trusts that he will continue to be a top-level club.

Raised in the Red Devils quarry, Rashford has spent his entire career at United, but has seen his participation drop in recent months, both due to his physical problems and the arrival of competition in Manchester.

The English attacker had to have surgery on his shoulder after the final of the European Championship that England lost to Italy, which had him out of the first seven matches of the Premier League. Since then, he has only started five times in the league, scoring two goals, while in the Champions League he has started two games and played another as a substitute and has scored a goal.

In addition to the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo at United, Rashford also competes with Jadon Sancho, for whom 100 million euros were paid this summer, Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial, who are in a similar situation to his, and Mason Greenwood, which is eclipsing him this season with 17 games played and five goals scored.

In addition, United has already begun to shore up the future of the team with the winter signing of the young Amed Diallo, from Atalanta, for an amount of more than 20 million euros.

These series of decisions have opened the door to a Rashford who, at 24, would have to give a complete turn to his career, leaving the city in which he grew up and in which he has become a symbol for his actions abroad. from the field.

The striker, who also has blood from the North Antillean country Saint Kitts and Nevis, is one of the most committed footballers in the fight against poverty and has been involved to prevent the Government from withdrawing food aid to disadvantaged children during the pandemic. (D)
