Man Utd transfer news: Barcelona's Marcus Rashford preference as left-back options emerge
Share:
Manchester United take on Rangers in the Europa League on Thursday against the backdrop of what could be a very busy end to the January transfer window. United boss Ruben Amorim was left staring at another defeat on Sunday, with a 3-1 reverse against Brighton leaving his team comfortably in the bottom half of the Premier League table. He has suggested he made a mistake with post-match comments describing the team as the worst in United's history, but that doesn't hide the fact that reinforcements are required.
Left wing-back appears to be the position with the most urgent need, with a number of players linked. Lecce's Patrick Dorgu appears to be top of the list, with Nuno Mendes now looking set to stay at Paris Saint-Germain. There could also be a number of exits before the window shuts, with Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho both available for the right price. Here are Mirror Football's latest lines from around Old Trafford.
Representatives for Marcus Rashford met with Barcelona on Tuesday, according to Sky Sports. The Catalan club appears to be Rashford's preference, though other clubs are in the mix. The England international isn't Barca's first choice, according to reports in Spain, but could end up joining as a more realistic option than their top targets. Those targets are said to include Premier League duo Alexander Isak and Luis Diaz, as well as Serie A hotshot Rafa Leao.
