Marcus Rashford is a 2023 target for FC Barcelona, ​​according to reports.
Spanish outlet Sport insists the Catalan giants are following the England star’s contract situation with great interest.
Rashford’s current contract is set to expire next summer, however Manchester United have the option to extend his contract for a further twelve months.
That would still make him an attractive prospect for the Blaugrana as the threat of a free transfer would reduce United’s demands.
However, it would be a surprise if the Red Devils didn’t offer to extend Rashford’s contract beyond 2024.
The striker has been in fine form under Erik ten Hag, scoring three goals and assisting two others in the English top flight.
Rashford’s performances have earned him the Premier League Player of the Month award for September.
If his return to form continues, it would be hard to imagine the Old Trafford hierarchy allowing him to leave on a free transfer.
Certainly United’s attack looks like an area where more players are needed, rather than fewer.
And while Barcelona tend to present an attractive proposition to many footballers, as an academy graduate who has shown faith in the club, the Red Devils would probably hope that Rashford would be willing to extend his stay in Manchester.
The Englishman’s flourishing under Erik ten Hag has been a huge boost for United, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Anthony Martial struggling for form and fitness.
Rashford are in line to start at the Etihad Stadium against fierce rivals Manchester City on Sunday in what promises to be an intriguing clash.
