Manchester United are expected to make major decisions this summer as Ruben Amorim prepares for his first full transfer window in charge.
Several key players, including high earners, are on borrowed time, with the club aiming to reshape the squad with younger, hungry talents.
Antony, Casemiro and even club captain Bruno Fernandes are reportedly being evaluated, while United continue to slide toward a disappointing finish in the Premier League.
With their Champions League hopes hanging on whether they can overcome Athletic Bilbao , the focus has already shifted toward planning for next season — both in terms of arrivals and exits.
And one player who appears to have already mentally checked out of Old Trafford is Marcus Rashford.
According to a confidential report by Sport, Barcelona were interested in Marcus Rashford before his winter loan move to Aston Villa — and the Manchester United forward still wants to make the dream switch to Spain.
The Catalan outlet reports that Marcus Rashford, who has contributed three goals and six assists in 16 appearances for Villa, is still pushing for a move to Camp Nou.

Hansi Flick’s side had negotiated a loan deal with Manchester United in January, but reportedly pulled out due to their internal contract priorities.
Despite this, Rashford’s camp is believed to have kept communication lines open, with his desire to play for Barcelona described as firm and unwavering.
Sport even suggests the 27-year-old wants the move “no matter what” — though that may involve a significant wage reduction.
It was also reported that Manchester United have held conversations with Villa over a possible swap deal involving Marcus Rashford and Ollie Watkins this summer.
Barcelona are still searching for a left winger who can offer versatility in the final third, and Rashford reportedly fits the profile perfectly.
His displays against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League — despite Villa being knocked out — are said to have convinced some in Barcelona of his quality.
However, Sport adds that Aston Villa still want to make the move permanent for around £40 million, which could complicate matters.
It’s clear Rashford’s time at Manchester United is coming to a natural end, and whether it’s Barcelona or another top club, his representatives appear to be actively seeking his next big move.
