Manchester United have not ruled out selling forward Marcus Rashford in the final days of the summer transfer window, according to TEAMtalk.
Arsenal and Barcelona are continuing to monitor the situation surrounding the England forward. Barcelona representatives are also understood to remain in contact with Rashford’s camp, despite the player’s departure at the end of last season.
A move is considered unlikely at present, but it has not been completely ruled out. Manchester United would be prepared to consider a transfer if a sufficiently attractive offer were to arrive before the window closes.
Rashford’s future therefore remains unresolved as the final stages of the summer market approach. The 28-year-old remains under contract with Manchester United until 2028, meaning the club are not under immediate pressure to part with him. However, the possibility of a late transfer remains open if the right proposal is made.
Arsenal are among the clubs continuing to follow developments, while Barcelona have maintained communication with people close to Rashford. Those contacts have continued even though the forward left Manchester United at the end of the previous season.
Since returning, Rashford has played in one Premier League match. He did not score or provide an assist in that appearance.
The lack of a goal contribution in that game is one of the limited details provided about his involvement since returning. No further appearances or contributions are specified in the information surrounding the current transfer situation.
For now, a move to either Arsenal or Barcelona appears unlikely, although neither possibility has been entirely dismissed. Any deal would depend on an offer that Manchester United considered acceptable during the closing days of the summer transfer window.
Rashford’s existing contract, which runs through 2028, gives Manchester United a long-term agreement with the forward. Nevertheless, TEAMtalk reports that the club could still sanction a sale if a suitable bid is received.
The forward remains the subject of interest from both clubs, with Barcelona continuing its dialogue with his representatives and Arsenal keeping watch on developments. His next move will depend on whether that interest develops into a formal offer before the transfer window shuts.
