Manchester United's homegrown star Marcus Rashford could be on the verge of a sensational exit, with European giants Juventus and Barcelona reportedly circling for his signature.
The 26-year-old forward, who has spent his entire professional career at Old Trafford, is said to be considering his options after a challenging season with the Red Devils.

According to reports, both Juventus and Barcelona have identified Rashford as a prime target to bolster their attacking options. The Italian side sees him as a perfect fit for their new project under manager Thiago Motta, while Barcelona view him as an ideal replacement for their ageing forwards.
A Crossroads in Rashford's Career
Despite being United's top scorer last season with 30 goals, Rashford has struggled to maintain consistency this campaign. His dip in form has coincided with United's overall struggles, leading to speculation about his future.
The England international has just over a year remaining on his current contract, putting United in a difficult position. They must decide whether to offer him a lucrative new deal or cash in this summer.
What This Means for Manchester United
Losing Rashford would represent a significant blow to United's long-term planning. As an academy graduate and local lad, he's been seen as a cornerstone of the club's future. However, with new minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe looking to reshape the squad, a big-money sale could provide funds for multiple reinforcements.
United fans will be divided on the news - while some believe Rashford needs a fresh start, others will argue the club should build around their homegrown talent.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on whether Rashford remains at the Theatre of Dreams or embarks on a new chapter in Italy or Spain.
