Manchester United forward Rashford reportedly closing in on Barcelona move

Barcelona are reportedly in the final stages of agreeing a loan deal to sign Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, with a buy option included, according to The Athletic's David Ornstein.

Rashford is out of favour at Manchester United and part of a group of players training away from the first team, looking for moves elsewhere.

Barcelona are said to be advancing on a deal to bring the Englishman to Spain, with United approving their initial terms.

Rashford spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, where he scored four goals and registered five assists in all competitions.

The 27-year-old came through United's academy before establishing himself as a star in the first team and has scored 138 goals in 426 appearances for the Red Devils.
