The 27-year-old, who is currently on loan at Barcelona, is said to be keeping all options open as there is still uncertainty over his long-term plans.
Rashford’s temporary move to Barcelona last summer was widely seen as an opportunity for the England international to kick-start his career after a turbulent spell at Old Trafford.
Despite flashes of brilliance in La Liga, including his improved chance creation and versatility on the attacking line, Barcelona have not yet committed to activating a permanent purchase option.
Marcus Rashford has impressed for Barcelona
With six goals and nine assists in 16 appearances He has been one of Barcelona’s best players in all competitions this season.
Financial constraints also complicate matters. The Catalan club’s ongoing salary constraints have forced them to carefully prioritize extensions and incoming transfers, meaning a long-term contract for Rashford is far from guaranteed.
Sources in Spain suggest Barca appreciate Rashford’s work rate and directness, but the club hierarchy is divided over whether another major attacking investment is feasible in 2026.
Rashford’s agent, Dwayne Maynard, is said to have already met with representatives from Chelsea and Tottenham, both of whom have been closely monitoring the situation.
The discussions were exploratory, but serious enough to indicate that a bidding race could arise.
A move from Man United to Rashford is inevitable next year
It is clear that Rashford has no future at Man United and manager Ruben Amorim has shown this in the past with team selection and preferences.
It remains to be seen where he will play next season, but given the form he has shown, he will not be short of offers.
United continue to reshape their squad and while Rashford remains a player of immense talent, his future at Old Trafford is uncertain.
The striker’s form has fluctuated in recent seasons and his high wages, which are among the highest in the squad, make him a candidate the club could listen to, especially if reinvestment elsewhere is needed.
Man United and Tottenham are among the clubs monitoring the striker in the final year of his contract
