Manchester United's Marcus Rashford Nearing Barcelona Loan Deal

Manchester United's Marcus Rashford is on the brink of a season-long loan switch to Barcelona as United granted permission for talks between the player and the La Liga champions, sources informed ESPN.

Rashford's Situation

The 27-year-old forward has been training separately from the main squad at United after being informed by coach Ruben Amorim that he is not in the team's plans. A previous loan to Aston Villa did not lead to a permanent move, but Rashford has reportedly favored a move to Barcelona since January.

Barcelona's Interest

Barcelona turned to Rashford after missing out on other targets. The club now eyes a loan deal with an option for a permanent transfer. Despite his success at United, Rashford has not played for the team since December.

Current Status

Rashford and his representatives have been allowed to engage with Barcelona, but a final agreement is pending among all parties involved.
