huge drama for Marcus Rashford
The 2026 summer transfer window officially opened its doors this Monday. For some, it started well before then. This is the case of Anthony Gordon, who has already completed his transfer to FC Barcelona for an amount of €70 million. A high sum for the residents of Camp Nou, who have had to tighten their belts for a long time. But this year, they are ready to do some crazy things like dropping €100 million for Julian Alvaréz. At the same time, Joan Laporta and his teams refused to pay Manchester United the €30 million purchase option for Marcus Rashford.
For weeks, they tried to lower the price of the Englishman, on loan this season in Catalonia. Used 49 times in all competitions by Hansi Flick, he was started 26 times. As for his stat line, the numbers are pretty decent. He scored 14 goals and provided 14 assists in the Blaugrana jersey. But this was not enough for the Culés to agree to exercise his purchase option without flinching and negotiating. This strained the Red Devils, who did not miss out on Gordon’s transfer for a huge fee and who rejected Barça’s ridiculous offer of €15m for their player.
A return to MU?
In the Rashford clan, disappointment is also in order. Moreover, a few days ago, the attacker removed the FC Barcelona player mention from his social networks. He also changed his profile photo and replaced the photo of him in the Blaugrana jersey with a photo of him with England. A strong gesture from the player, who will not return to Barcelona according to A.S.. Still under contract with Manchester United, Rashford will therefore have to find a new base. Unless there was a surprising turnaround, which no one saw coming.
According to The Suna return to MU is not ruled out. Thus, we learn that Michael Carrick, who has been reinforced as coach, is not closing the door to a return of Rashford the coming season. The coach surveyed club members and managers to raise this possibility, for which he received positive opinions. In addition, he is in contact with the player with whom he is trading. Carrick, who let him know that he would be delighted to be able to count on him, therefore advances his pawns. For his part, the player under contract until 2028 was annoyed when he left the club. A return is therefore not impossible under certain conditions. Especially since in the event of departure, we would have to find a club which pays what MU and the player demand in transfer fees and salary.
