Manchester United have set their asking price for star forward Marcus Rashford as Barcelona are keen to ramp up their interest in him, as per reports. The England international has enjoyed a solid half-season on loan at Aston Villa, and appears set for a permanent switch in the summer.
Journalist Sacha Tavolieri has revealed that Barcelona director Deco is prepared to take concrete steps towards signing Rashford ahead of the summer. The Spanish giants are prepared to commence engagements with the representatives of the 27-year-old to reach an agreement on personal terms.
