Marcus Rashford has reportedly rejected offers from Tottenham and a number of other clubs during the past month with his heart set on a loan move to Barcelona.
Rashford has been strongly linked with a move during the January window after confirming he wants to leave before a public falling out with new Man United manager Ruben Amorim.
His time at the club has been a nightmare since the Portuguese came in and he has not played since the Europa League trip to Viktoria Plzen seven weeks ago.
New lows were reached this past week with Amorim revealing he would rather play his 63-year-old goalkeeper coach Jorge Vital than bring Rashford back into the fold.
An Old Trafford exit would seemingly suit both parties at this stage but Rashford is only interested in one destination, according to The Guardian.
The report states that the 27-year-old has turned down a proposal from Spurs, thought to be a loan.
The north London club are looking to bolster their attacking options following injuries to Dominic Solanke, Wilson Odobert, Brennan Johnson and Timo Werner also currently sidelined.
They have now set their sights on £50m-rated Bayern Munich teenager Mathys Tel while Rashford remains keen to make his way to the Camp Nou.
There are doubts over whether Barca could complete the deal in time ahead of Monday’s deadline because of their recent financial struggles.
Barcelona will have to offload players in order to afford Rashford, who currently earns £375,000-a-week.
The clock is ticking with the transfer window to slam shut at 11pm on Monday night
Ahead of Thursday’s 2-0 Europa League victory over Steaua in Bucharest, Amorim indicated suggested there was still a route back into his team for Rashford if he were to stay.
‘
You can look at our team and imagine the profile of the players,’ he said. ‘Now imagine a talent like Rashford. Our team should be so much better with Rashford. But he has to change. If he changes, we are more than welcome to put in a talent like Rashford. And we need it.’ (www.dailymail.co.uk)
