Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has emerged as a surprise target for Spanish giants Barcelona, sparking a potential blockbuster transfer battle.
Reports suggest the Catalan club are monitoring the England international's situation at Old Trafford, with Rashford enduring a turbulent season under Erik ten Hag.
McManaman's Verdict on Potential Move
Former Liverpool and Real Madrid star Steve McManaman has weighed in on the speculation, telling Betfred: "If Barcelona come calling, it would be very difficult for any player to turn them down."
The pundit added: "Rashford's had his ups and downs at United, but his talent is undeniable. A fresh start abroad could reignite his career."
Rashford's Contract Situation
The 26-year-old signed a new five-year deal with United last summer, but the club's inconsistent form and failure to qualify for Champions League football could force a rethink.
Barcelona's financial constraints might complicate any potential deal, though their history of pulling off unexpected transfers could make this one to watch this summer.
