Marcus Rashford makes huge Barcelona compromise in bid to force Man Utd transfer exit

Manchester United want-away Marcus Rashford is willing to take a pay cut in order to make his dream move to Barcelona a reality. Rashford, 27, is keen to join Barca before deadline day, despite interest from Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund and Napoli. But the 60-time England international's wages could be a stumbling block due to Barcelona's well-documented financial woes.
Having signed a long-term contract at United in 2023, putting him on wages in excess of £300,000 per week, Rashford would be willing to re-negotiate his salary if the Red Devils can strike a loan deal with Barca, the Star report. Rashford's future has dominated the headlines throughout the January transfer window, with United boss Ruben Amorim admitting ahead of Sunday's trip to Fulham that he doesn't know if the 27-year-old will eventually stay or go. "I don't know. I really don't know," Amorim said.
"Guys, it's eight days (until the end of the window). We will see in the end of the window what happened. And then we will talk about it in that moment.". The United manager also said following last weekend's dismal 3-1 loss at home to Brighton: "It is his choice [not to play]. I don't want to focus on this bad moment because in the games we lost, Rashford is not here.
"I don't want to put this moment on Rashford. Rashford is out of this moment because he is not playing. No matter what, I am not going to put out a player I don't believe is the best for the team.". Would Barcelona be a smart move for Marcus Rashford? Have your say in the comments section.
