Man United send clear message to Barcelona over Marcus Rashford chase | OneFootball

The brass at Premier League outfit Manchester United have forwarded a message of warning the way of their counterparts at Barcelona, over the latter’s pursuit of Marcus Rashford.

That’s according to Diario Sport, who have provided an insight into the latest developments behind the scenes in Catalunya’s capital.

The name of wide-man Rashford has of course returned to the forefront of the headlines in Catalunya’s capital over the course of the last week.

This comes after the 27-year-old’s agent was spotted in a hotel in Barcelona, awaiting a meeting with Blaugrana sporting director Deco.

Barca are understood to have shifted focus towards Rashford amid struggles in finding a deal with Liverpool for priority target Luis Díaz.

Finding a deal with Manchester United, however, is proving no easy task…

Deco and co, it is understood, have put together a number of creative bids and proposals for Rashford, featuring everything from a dry loan to one with a purchase option and a mandatory buyout clause based on certain conditions.

As per Sport, however, the response from Old Trafford has remained the same:

‘€40 million or nothing.’

Barcelona, in turn, have for the time being been forced to go back to the drawing board in their search for a new winger.
