By refusing to return to Ruben Amorim’s team, Rashford is giving Barcelona the opportunity to push the transfer fee down
Marcus Rashford is enjoying an impressive campaign with FC Barcelona – yet his firm stance on his future could end up costing Manchester United dearly.
As reported by "Teamtalk", the England international is determined to remain at Barca and has already delivered a blunt message to the Red Devils: If the move doesn’t go through, he’d rather be demoted to the reserves than join any other club!
🚨 Marcus Rashford has informed Manchester United he ONLY wants to join Barcelona once his loan expires next summer — he doesn't want to entertain any talks with another club. 😤🔴🔵

Since arriving in January, Rashford has been a major contributor, involved in 16 goals (6 scored, 10 assisted) in just 20 matches. A crucial figure in the squad. Tottenham, Paris Saint-Germain, and even clubs from Saudi Arabia showed interest – but Rashford rejected all advances.
His loan agreement includes a 2026 buy option worth just under 35 million euros. Barcelona plans to trigger it, and United are aware of that. Still, there’s hesitation at Old Trafford: can Barca actually afford it? The Catalans’ financial troubles persist, creating a complicated situation for United. Why?
Because Rashford refuses to consider any other destination – and has no intention of returning to the Premier League. Behind the scenes, there are growing concerns that Barca might push for another loan or negotiate an even lower fee. For United, that could spell a major financial blow, especially with Rashford still under contract for more than two years and no realistic path back to the Red Devils squad.
Is Rashford steering United straight into a costly, multi-million-euro crisis?
