Manchester United are actively exploring ways to bolster Ruben Amorim’s squad in the January transfer window.

Amorim, who took over in November, has already implemented positive steps toward his ideal playing style.

Despite some mixed results, it’s clear the United manager needs reinforcements to make his system work effectively.

However, financial mismanagement in recent years has left the club in a precarious position.

United must now sell to buy, making this transfer window particularly tricky.

Several high-profile players, including Alejandro Garnacho and Antony have been linked with moves away from United.

The focus remains on balancing the squad while bringing in players for key positions.

Fresh news has come in regards to one player who is expected to depart United in the near future.

Marcus Rashford’s future at United very much looks to be over, with links to numerous European giants.

Barcelona might be preparing to sacrifice Ansu Fati to sign Manchester United forward Rashford this January.

That is according to a report by Hugo Cerezo and Matteo Moretto.

The Catalan club is determined to beat the competition for Rashford, with the English international reportedly eager to make the switch.

However, Barcelona’s well-documented financial struggles mean they need to offload a player before securing Rashford’s services.

Fati has been identified as the player to make way.

The 22-year-old winger was once hailed as Lionel Messi’s heir after a sensational debut season in 2019/20.

Unfortunately, fitness issues and inconsistent form have seen Fati’s stock drop dramatically in recent years.

A loan spell at Brighton & Hove Albion last year failed to reignite his career, and he has since struggled to feature prominently since coming back.

Despite his reduced role, Fati reportedly wants to stay at the club, and his wages pose a challenge for potential suitors.

Meanwhile, Rashford appears willing to take a pay cut to join Barcelona, underscoring his desire to work under Hansi Flick.

For now, Barcelona’s hopes of landing Rashford hinge on their ability to offload Fati, a move that is easier said than done.

The clock is ticking, and a deal for Rashford could slip away if the Spanish side cannot clear the path financially.
