Rashford Set for Permanent Barcelona Move

Manchester United expect Marcus Rashford to join Barcelona permanently, with the Catalans prepared to activate a €30m buy option.

Barcelona are set to make Marcus Rashford's move permanent after the England international impressed during his loan spell. The Premier League giants expect the forward to stay at the Spotify Camp Nou, with the only obstacle being a club-to-club agreement between the two sides.

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has already shifted focus to finding a replacement for Rashford, who has agreed terms with Barcelona. The €30m fee represents good value for Barcelona despite their financial constraints, as the 26-year-old has proven capable of winning matches on his own this season.
