"What originally looked like a necessary parting of ways has transformed into a strategic nightmare for the United board. The crux of United's frustration lies in the fine print. At the time of the loan, United agreed to a first option clause allowing Barcelona to make the move permanent for a maximum of 26m. With Rashford's current market value now estimated to be closer to 50m, the United hierarchy realises they have effectively undervalued their asset by half."
"Marcus Rashford, whose got shunned at Man United after falling out with former manager Ruben Amorim, has undergone a stunning career revival since arriving at the Camp Nou on an initial loan basis. The change of scenery appears to have been exactly what the 28-year-old forward needed. In 34 appearances for the Spanish giants, Rashford has netted 10 goals and assisted another 13, re-establishing himself as one of Europe's most clinical transitions threats."
Manchester United executives are frustrated after agreeing to a loan-to-buy arrangement that included a first-option clause allowing Barcelona to sign Marcus Rashford permanently for up to 26m. Rashford's market value is now estimated near 50m, leading United to feel they significantly undervalued the forward. Barcelona may try to negotiate the 26m even lower by using Rashford's stated desire to remain in Spain. Rashford has experienced a career revival at Barcelona, scoring 10 goals and providing 13 assists in 34 appearances, and has earned a recall to the England national team.
