Marcus Rashford reportedly has no plans to return to Manchester United once his season-long loan at Barcelona expires this summer.

The 28-year-old forward has informed the Spanish club of his desire to stay permanently, having rediscovered his best form and his enjoyment of football since moving to La Liga.

Since arriving at the Camp Nou, Rashford has recorded 10 goals and 12 assists in 33 appearances.

His resurgence has not only solidified his place in the Barcelona starting lineup but has also earned him a recall to the England national team ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Wage Cuts and Transfer Negotiations

Barcelona holds an option to sign Rashford permanently for a reported fee of £26 million. To facilitate the move, Rashford is reportedly willing to renegotiate his current salary and accept a significant pay cut.

He currently earns £325,000 per week—a figure established in his Manchester United contract that Barcelona has been covering during his loan spell.

The forward’s commitment to staying in Spain is further evidenced by his personal life; he has already purchased an apartment in one of Barcelona’s exclusive residential areas.

Reports suggest that even if Barcelona fails to reach an agreement with Manchester United, Rashford would prefer to seek a move elsewhere rather than return to Old Trafford.

Impact of Manchester United’s Managerial Changes

The rumors of a potential return to Manchester United surfaced following the sacking of Ruben Amorim and the appointment of Michael Carrick as interim manager.

While there was speculation that a permanent managerial appointment might lead to an attempt to reintegrate Rashford, the player remains focused on securing his future in Spain.

Rashford is reportedly eager to finalize his permanent transfer before the World Cup begins to ensure his club future is settled before the tournament kicks off.
