Marcus Rashford Rejects Manchester United Return
Marcus Rashford has reportedly ruled out a return to Manchester United, choosing instead to continue his career with Barcelona despite renewed interest from his former club.
According to The Touchline, the England international is unconvinced by United’s current sporting direction and believes his personal ambitions align more closely with Barcelona’s long-term vision. The presence of head coach Hansi Flick is said to have played a key role in strengthening Rashford’s confidence in the project at Camp Nou.
Manchester United’s interest is understood to have resurfaced following recent changes within the club’s technical setup. Interim manager Michael Carrick reportedly made direct contact with Rashford, identifying him as a central figure in plans to rebuild the club’s attacking structure ahead of the new season.
However, sources suggest Rashford remains reluctant about a return, citing ongoing uncertainty around United’s long-term plans. The forward is believed to feel the club is still searching for stability and clarity, making a comeback unattractive at this stage of his career.
By contrast, Rashford is said to be fully settled in Spain and committed to his future with Barcelona. Since arriving last summer, he has adapted smoothly to life at the club, forging strong relationships within the squad and embracing the environment.
Speaking recently to SPORT, Rashford made his intentions clear:
“What I want is to stay at Barca. It’s the ultimate goal. The purpose is to win. Barca is a huge club, built to win titles.”
He added that his experience at the club has been overwhelmingly positive, praising the atmosphere and reaffirming his determination to help Barcelona compete for major honours.
