Marcus Rashford's Barcelona dream over? Man Utd outcast sweating on transfer as Nico Williams pursuit potentially scuppers plans - could return to Red Devils for pre-season

<p>According to a report from <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/sport/football/article/manchester-united-transfer-news-andre-onana-monaco-approach-marcus-rashford-barcelona-5pt2jdz02" target="_blank"><em>The Times</em></a>, Rashford could return to Carrington and join his Manchester United team-mates for pre-season duties if a move to Barcelona - or elsewhere - fails to materialise.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Rashford is awaiting clarity from the Blaugrana amid their <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/nico-williams-barcelona-sporting-director-deco-meet-athletic-club-summer-transfer-reunite-spain-lamine-yamal/bltfe2102536365ca59" target="_blank">pursuit of Athletic Club winger Williams progressing significantly</a>. The Spanish champions are in advanced talks with the 22-year-old and have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/barcelona-reach-agreement-sign-nico-williams-six-year-contract-lamine-yamal-spain-team-mate-closer-transfer-athletic-club/bltcaace7bd2a1cfd6f" target="_blank">already reached a personal agreement on a six-year deal</a>. Williams - who shares Rashford's preferred position on the left wing - has taken an active role in pushing for the transfer, even acting as an intermediary between the clubs.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Despite the crossover in roles, the England international remains hopeful of a switch to Camp Nou, given his versatility to play across the frontline. United are open to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/marcus-rashford-summer-price-tag-revealed-man-utd-outcast-returns-home-assess-options-heavy-interest-expected-england-international/blt0c6b993cf0fa93a1" target="_blank">selling the 27-year-old for around £40 million (€47m/$54m)</a>, following his loan spell at Aston Villa. A move abroad may be more likely, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/marcus-rashford-inter-man-utd-outcast-targeted-after-psg-champions-league-final/blt2860563d5f6c417d" target="_blank">Inter</a>, Juventus, and Bayern Munich also linked, although <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/newcastle-marcus-rashford-suitors-champions-league-loan-deal-manchester-united/blt134cfbafb307ee73" target="_blank">Newcastle United have also been rumoured to be interested</a> in the forward.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The United academy graduate, who has been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/marcus-rashford-spanish-training-base-man-utd-outcast-waits-news-potential-barcelona-transfer-costa-del-sol-future-decided-summer/blt95bcfb0400523735#csb2309bd65f99cf0f" target="_blank">training in Marbella during his holiday</a>, will return to Carrington if no transfer is secured. However, tensions with the Red Devils manager Ruben Amorim persist and the head coach is reportedly prepared to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ruben-amorim-man-utd-banish-four-players-team-squad-marcus-rashford-antony-off-pre-season-tour/blteda4a460d1f46729" target="_blank">banish Rashford and three others from the pre-season first-team squad</a>. The attacker is said to be <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/marcus-rashford-desperate-lamine-yamal-man-utd-outcast-sacrifice-move-barcelona-england-forward-training-spain/blt11194353241894ec" target="_blank">ready to accept a huge pay cut</a> if it means he can get a chance to play under Hansi Flick. His future is far from resolved, and it's unlikely his new destination will be decided anytime soon.</p>
