Overview
- Manchester United dismissed Ruben Amorim this week, but multiple outlets say Marcus Rashford remains unlikely to return in the near term.
- The Sun, echoed by Goal and Football365, reports the decisions to loan out Rashford and other players were directed by the club hierarchy rather than the manager.
- Barcelona’s loan includes a buy option of roughly €30m/£28m, and Fabrizio Romano has said the Spanish club will wait until summer to decide.
- Rashford has produced goals and assists for Barcelona and has publicly stated he wants to stay, with Hansi Flick praising his attitude and professionalism.
- Coverage notes Barcelona’s finances could affect triggering the clause, while speculation over United’s next coach continues without altering the current expectation of a permanent sale.
