Overview

• Spanish reports and The Athletic say Marcus Rashford was left out of Barcelona’s XI against Getafe for arriving late to a team meeting, before he came on to set up Dani Olmo in a 3-0 win.
• Hansi Flick downplayed a disciplinary angle by citing minute management, though Raphinha, Jules Kounde and Inaki Pena have previously been benched for punctuality breaches under the coach.
• Paul Scholes criticised Rashford’s attitude on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast, saying the forward ‘quit on Manchester United,’ as pundits Ben Foster and Troy Deeney also condemned the lateness as disrespectful or self‑sabotaging.
• Barcelona hold an option to buy at around £26m, but Manchester Evening News reports United want closer to £35m to sell the academy graduate after his loan.
• Football365, citing Spanish outlet e‑noticies, reports PSG would be willing to offer about €45m (£39m) next summer, a scenario that could increase United’s leverage over any permanent move.
