Looking to make the most of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s stance, Barcelona have reportedly set their sights on signing a Manchester United star who has already earned the praise of new manager Ruben Amorim.
Manchester United transfer news
With defeats against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest sandwiched between the surprise departure of sporting director Dan Ashworth, before Manchester United needed a late winner to defeat Viktoria Plzen, the difficulty of Amorim’s task has never been clearer.
Trying to organize the chaos Erik ten Hag left on the pitch while INEOS and Ratcliffe continue to grab headlines for the wrong reasons out of action, Amorim desperately needs the January transfer window to arrive.
However, it’s not just entries that could take place come 2025, with several names likely to be heading for the exit door as Amorim looks to put his own stamp on the current side. And that could still send a surprise player heading for the exit door.
According to reports in Spain, Barcelona has its sights set on signing Marcus Rashfordwho Ratcliffe is reportedly willing to sell for as little as £40m when the opportunity arises.

They could get a bargain…
The academy graduate has struggled to rediscover his best form in the last year, which has done nothing to help Ten Hag’s tenure, and it remains to be seen whether he will find a permanent role under Amorim, given their winger-less system.
This comes despite the new coach’s early praise and encouragement towards Rashford, he told reporters. broadcast by Reuters after the 4-0 victory over Everton: “He can do a lot, so he has to keep improving, he has the ability to do it, he already showed it. But he can play much better, just like the other guys. It was a good performance, (but) Tomorrow he has to recover and start think about Arsenal”.
“Great” Rashford needs a new start
Manchester United may be his boyhood club, but if Rashford wants to rediscover his best form then he must do what many before him decided to do: leave Old Trafford for pastures new. Old Trafford has seen the likes of Angel Di María, Danny Welbeck all those years ago and, more recently, Andreas Pereira depart, before finding their best form in better surroundings elsewhere. Now, Rashford should do the same.
If it is Barcelona who are also knocking on the door, then the England international should open the door and take control of what should be a dream move for almost any player.
Despite how it ended low ten witchesThe Dutchman often praised Rashford, praising his “great” form at the end of 2022, when he was at his best in a Manchester United shirt. However, with Ten Hag gone and Rashford yet to find his form with Amorim, a shock exit is seemingly looming.
