Marcus Rashford's future is once again in the spotlight, with fresh reports from El Nacional claiming that the Manchester United forward's agent has held discreet meetings with both Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur to explore a potential summer transfer. The 27-year-old, currently on loan at Barcelona, is said to be keeping all options open as uncertainty continues to surround his long-term plans.
Marcus Rashford was back in action on Sunday for England against Albania and delivered another assist in a victory for the Three Lions in their final World Cup qualifier. England were leading 1-0 when Rashford arrived on 75 minutes as a substitute for Jarrod Bowen. The Barcelona loanee then needed just seven minutes to deliver an assist for Harry Kane. Rashford sent in a superb ball from the left for Kane to nod home his second of the night.

"In games we have seen with him where we know he can do more, we know he can run more - that is nothing to do with an environment."
It must be noted that after unsuccessful pursuits of Luis Diaz and Nico Williams, Barcelona signed Rashford on a season-long loan last summer. The 27-year-old arrived eager to revive his career in Spain and has since impressed under Hansi Flick. His adaptation to the coach's style has been smoother than expected. His pace, off-the-ball movement, and link-up play have added much-needed variety to Barça's attack.
