Barcelona ‘hesitant’ about signing Man United forward this month

 

Manchester United have hit a major roadblock in their quest to lighten their heavy wage bill.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Barcelona are hesitant about forcing through a loan move for Rashford this month but would be interested in signing him permanently in the summer.

The report further revealed that Barcelona sporting director Deco is not ‘overly eager to conclude a deal for Rashford before Monday’s transfer deadline’.

The England international is pocketing a staggering salary each week, yet his on-field contributions have hardly matched the price tag.

Manager Ruben Amorim has axed him from the squad after questioning his commitment to the club.

Rashford’s last appearance for United was in the Europa League on December 12.

Amorim has mentioned that the 27-year-old must change if he wants to play for the club again.

Rashford has expressed his desire for a new challenge elsewhere, which has not gone down well with the United faithful.

Many former United players, including Wayne Rooney, have come out and advised the forward to leave the club.

Unfortunately, the Englishman has failed to find a new club due to his staggering wages. Not many elite clubs can offer what he earns at United.

United are expected to cover part of his wages in any potential loan deal.

Rashford has rejected offers from Saudi Pro League clubs and Tottenham Hotspur as ‘his heart is set’ on a transfer to Barcelona.

With just three days left in the January transfer window, Rashford may ultimately stay at United.
