Manchester United demands sign Barcelona star Marcus Rashford for £50m

Marcus Rashford has been linked to the transfer to Barcelona.

Manchester United has reportedly asked Barcelona to trade a specific player in exchange for Marcus Rashford in order to complete the transfer this summer.

After Rashford's relationship with Ruben Amorin broke down, the Red Devils allowed Rashford to loan to Aston Villa after the January transfer window ended.

On December 12, Manchester United coach Amorin brought Rashford to play for the last time in the Europa League victory against Bilson, and he did not participate in every game until he finally left.

Rashford has been doing well since joining Aston Villa in the winter transfer window, and there is no doubt that if Villa can justify the transfer fee, he would convince Villa to sign him in the summer.

But Unai Emery admits that Aston Villa will be "hard" to sign him permanently after Rashford's recent Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain.

Emery said at the end of April: "(signed him in the summer) is difficult to plan now. He feels comfortable and is in better shape. He plays a great game."

If he is happy, we are happy too. Of course, it depends on the situation, and what happens in the next few weeks, and what happens next year.

At the end of April, it was reported that Rashford was "very likely" to miss the rest of Aston Villa's game of the season, and the rumors of summer transfers began.

Barcelona has contacted Rashford several times recently, and Manchester United hopes to transfer to Barcelona this summer as Manchester United is eager to sell the England international.

Now Spanish reports say that Manchester United has "requested" to trade Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo in exchange for Rashford, and the Red Devils were "willing to make an offer of more than €60 million" for a direct transfer.

After proving that "he is still a top star", Rashford "returned to Barcelona's sight" and the Catalan giants "may reach a exchange agreement with Manchester United."

It is understood that "the most popular option at the moment is to reach a swap agreement, and Ronald Araujo will be another player, although he is not in the plan."

Whether or not the exchange with Rashford, the Uruguay international's departure was almost certain when the transfer window opened.

The report also said that Premier League giants Manchester United "seems to be interested in signing him, just like they did in the past, when they even submitted a formal offer." Earlier this month, Barcelona sporting director Deco admitted that the Catalan giant lacked strength on the wing and that Rashford could make up for the flaw. "If we can improve, it will always be an option, but the key is to consolidate our existing strength and prepare for the years to come. "We suddenly feel very dependent on Rafinia and Ramine. Maybe we need similar players to provide them with solutions when they are out of the game,” the Portuguese admitted.

"But the team is quite balanced, and we also have a lot of great players from the youth team. ”
