Barcelona are set to step up negotiations to sign Marcus Rashford from Manchester United this week.Rashford was again not included in the Manchester United squad for Sunday’s 3-1 defeat to Brighton

Man Utd forward Marcus Rashford is ‘close’ to leaving the Red Devils for Barcelona but only if they guarantee him a starting role, according to reports. Rashford made it clear last month that he is ready for a “new challenge” away from Old Trafford after failing to hit good form over the last 18 months.

Tottenham could inadvertently help Marcus Rashford to secure his preferred move out of Manchester United this month, with reports detailing the latest on Barcelona's interest as well as a Spurs 'offer' that unlocks their deal.
