Barcelona enter race to sign Manchester United attacker

Barcelona have entered the race to sign Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford this summer, Manchester Evening News claims.

The England international has had a poor campaign with the Red Devils, bagging just five goals and two assists from 26 appearances.

His form has dropped him down the pecking order in recent weeks, and it is now claimed that the Blaugrana are interested in landing him.

The Catalan giants have made a tentative enquiry to the player's entourage, but it is unlikely that the player will consider a summer departure.

The United graduate remains committed towards the club despite his difficult situation. The hierarchy share the same stance on the player.

Rashford has gone through a tough phase. However, the board are confident that he will turn around his fortunes sooner rather than later.

His current deal expires in June next year, but there is a 12-month option. Talks are expected over a new long-term deal soon amid the gossip.
