‘Unstoppable’ Man Utd star could finally seal his dream move as Fabrizio Romano delivers shocking breaking news | OneFootball

Manchester United outcast Marcus Rashford has received a major boost as Barcelona have missed out on signing their top summer target.

The 27-year-old is an academy product of the Red Devils who went on to become the club’s biggest attraction. Former United manager Erik ten Hag once described him as ‘unstoppable’, but the Dutchman’s successor, Ruben Amorim, decided to exclude him from his plans after taking the reins at Carrington.

Therefore, Rashford spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, where he managed to find his feet again by scoring two goals and providing four assists in all competitions. However, the Villans opted against purchasing him for £40 million, especially after missing out on Champions League football.

In the meantime, Rashford has been dreaming about fulfilling his longtime desire of playing for Barcelona, but the Catalans placed him in the background while focusing on luring Nico Williams.

But according to Fabrizio Romano, the Blaugrana have fallen short in their attempts to land the Spanish winger who has now signed a new contract with Athletic Bilbao valid until 2035. The deal also saw the winger’s release clause (originally set at €58 million) rise by 50%.

The Italian journalist thus confirms that Williams’ transfer to Barcelona is now dead in the water due to registration issues.

This will be music to the ears of Rashford, as the LaLiga champions may decide to accelerate their attempts to relieve him from his Man Utd misery.

However, the issues that plagued Williams’ botched transfer to Barcelona could return to haunt the Englishman as well, as the Spanish giants have been struggling to balance their accounts in recent years which prompted the unwanted attention of LaLiga and their FFP rules.

Nevertheless, Rashford also has other suitors, including Bayern Munich, as exclusively revealed by Stretty News on Thursday, and confirmed by renowned German journalist Christian Falk on Friday morning.

Thus, the coming weeks couldd prove to be pivotal on this particular track.
