According to Daily Express, Marcus Rashford appears to be on the verge of sealing his future, with both the forward and Manchester United aligned on one key priority, getting the situation resolved quickly.

After a resurgent season on loan at Barcelona, where he contributed 28 goals and assists across all competitions and played a role in the club’s second successive La Liga triumph, the England international has rediscovered the form that once made him one of Europe’s most feared attackers.

Rashford’s preference is clear. A permanent switch to the Catalan giants is his desired outcome, and his representatives travelled to Spain during the weekend Clasico against Real Madrid to begin laying the groundwork for those discussions.

Following Barcelona’s victory in that fixture, Rashford gave reporters a glimpse into his mindset, saying he would stay if he could, adding, “this team is a wonderful team. They’re going to win so much in the future.”

However, the final decision remains with Barcelona, who are still weighing up whether to trigger their £26 million purchase option.

United have already rejected any proposal to extend the loan arrangement for another season, making a permanent exit the only viable path forward.

The club has also factored Rashford’s wages out of their financial planning for next term, signalling that his return to Old Trafford is not something they are banking on.

Adding urgency to the timeline is the upcoming World Cup. Rashford is expected to feature in Thomas Tuchel’s England squad announcement next week, and he is eager to have his club future settled before the tournament begins in North America.

Neither his camp nor United has any appetite for a prolonged saga, making a resolution in the coming weeks likely.
