Marcus Rashford hopes to follow in the footsteps of Gary Lineker by leaving Manchester United for Barcelona in the summer transfer window – and the TV presenter has responded
Gary Lineker seems to approve Marcus Rashford in his footsteps in Barcelona. After weeks of doubt, Rashford comes closer to sealing his dream movement to Barca and from Manchester United in the summer transfer window.
Rashford made it clear that he would like to join Barcelona since he took out a loan spell at Aston Villa. He rejected a mega-money movement to Saudi Arabia and waited patiently for Barca and United to get into a movement.
The striker was placed in the ‘Bomb Squad’ in United by Ruben Amorim, who made it clear that he has no future at the club. Forced to train alongside colleague -accidental stars Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia, he has placed his future in the hands of others.
United had wanted to sell him permanently for around £ 40 million, but they have now received a loan agreement with Barca. The Catalan giants get him on loan for the 2025/26 season and pay the whole of his £ 325,000 a week, before he gets the chance to permanently sign him if things go well.

That has excited Lineker, who has changed his Instagram photo into an image of the two players who wear no. 10 shirts for England while standing for No.10 Downing Street. Lineker is currently the only Englishman who has played for Barcelona since the Second World War, after he led the line for the club between 1986 and 1989.
He scored 51 goals in 138 games for Barca, to help them win the Copa del Rey, and will be monitored how Rashford can continue in the side of Hansi Flick. Rashford is expected to play left of the 4-3-3 formation of Barcelona, although he can also offer a backup for veteran Center-forward Robert Lewandowski.
Barca had tried to sign Nico Williams of Athletic Club, but the move fell on. They also showed interest in Liverpool -wing player Luis Diaz, but were deterred by the transfer posture of the Reds.
“I don’t want to talk about players who are not in my team, but of course Luis Diaz and Marcus Rashford are fantastic players,” said Flick earlier in the summer. “I like them and we will see what happens.”
Before Rashford returned to Carrington, Rashford had only worked on his fitness and given a clear plea to Barca. While he is on vacation in Marbella, he was asked by the Spanish YouTube channel Xbuyer Whether he wants to play with Barca Wonderkid Lamine Yamal in the future.
“Yes, certainly. Everyone in the world wants to play with the best,” the attacker replied. “So hopefully we will see.” He got four goals and six assists in 17 performances for Villa before an injury delivered his stay in Birmingham.
