"Antony re-joined Real Betis on a permanent deal, Rasmus Hojlund headed to Napoli on loan with an obligation to buy, while academy graduate Marcus Rashford also moved on to Barcelona. Rashford has had a fine start to life in Catalonia, where he has registered six goals and seven assists in 18 appearances. Barcelona have been very pleased with him, which is why there has already been talk of them activating their option to buy at the end of the season."
"They've got that 30m option in the initial loan deal to sign Marcus Rashford on a permanent deal and it does seem that there is a willingness from all parties to get a deal done. He is happy at Barcelona having moved away from Manchester United. He has found something of his best form at the Nou Camp. He's got six goals and eight assists in 17 games for Barca."
During the summer transfer window Manchester United moved several players on: Antony to Real Betis permanently, Rasmus Hojlund to Napoli on loan with an obligation to buy, and Marcus Rashford to Barcelona. Rashford has produced strong early returns in Catalonia, registering goals and assists and regaining an England squad place. Barcelona hold a €30m option to sign Rashford permanently and appear willing to complete the transfer, but financial constraints could prevent the purchase. PSG have been linked as alternative suitors. Manchester United expect the sale to be finalised next summer and seek to maximise the transfer fee.
