"I think they are in a very difficult position with this because it would appear that all he wants to do is play for Barcelona, and when players stick in like that, then of course the selling club has little leverage. I think the Man United ship may have sailed because Rashford wants to stay at Barcelona. He scored those goals against Newcastle. Obviously, he's now feeling a bit more love in Barcelona."
"They've still got their mess behind the scenes in terms of financial situations, which may also dictate to a degree how this pans out. But certainly, United don't have a deck of cards in their hands to play. United are realising that to turn the Man United tank around is a very costly exercise. And that's what we're seeing. They're going to have to take some big losses before they get this right,"
Manchester United failed to sell several unwanted players in the 2025 summer transfer window and face similar prospects in 2026. Marcus Rashford joined Barcelona on loan and has made a strong start in La Liga. Barcelona hold an option to sign him permanently next summer and could negotiate a lower fee. Rashford appears determined to remain in Catalonia, weakening United's bargaining position. Barcelona's financial situation could influence the final deal. United may need to accept significant losses to resolve squad issues. Transfer decisions will depend on both sporting desires and fiscal realities.
