According to reports, Man United forward Marcus Rashford is being monitored by la Liga giants FC Barcelona, who are preparing a lucrative summer move.
The England international striker has enjoyed a brilliant individual campaign at the club, scoring 13 goals and creating 8 assists in about 30 matches in all competitions.
The forwards best form this term coincided with the arrival of Norwegian tactician Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as the side’s new head coach back in December, as the forward was moved into a more central zone in attack following months featuring on the flank under Portuguese tactician Jose Mourinho.
The forward’s continued presence in the starting XI at Old Trafford will be crucial to their chances of a premier League top-four finish.
According to The Sun, Spanish champions FC Barcelona, who knocked Ole’s team out of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night are allegedly set to submit a £100 million offer bid for the United star.
Rashford, 21, has just one year left on his present contract at Old Trafford and speculations over a fresh deal have stalled with United over the past few months, which has left everyone at Old Trafford sweating over the player’s future.
The Spanish La Liga leaders are hoping to make good use of the contract situation, while also beating Real Madrid to the signature of the forward, who have also been monitoring the situation of the forward throughout the season – according to The Sun.
Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde has the likes of Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele to call upon upfront, which leaves the Catalan club with little or no room for a new attacker to come in and steal the show.
