Marcus Rashford returned to Manchester United after his loan with Aston Villa officially expired on June 30.
However, the attacker does not face any real future for Old Trafford and he prefers to be in a new club rather than returning to Carrington this summer.
So, with the imminent pre-season, where is Rashford going?
Barcelona
Barcelona remains the favorite destination of Rashford if he leaves United this summer.
And, intriguing, the door could open on a move to Catalonia.
This is because last week, Barcelona saw his hopes to land Luis Diaz de Liverpool or Nico Williams from the more or less sports club.
Liverpool rejected Bayern Munich’s offer for Diaz – just as they pushed the Barca advances earlier this summer – and clearly indicated that the Colombian is not for sale. On Friday, Williams signed a new 10 -year agreement with Athletic Club.

Financial problems remain a concern in Barcelona. They have narrow financial parameters set by Laliga and a recent story not to record players due to problems related to the financing of these transactions.
Rashford’s prospects for a visit to Barcelona are more likely that they did not do so a week ago – but how an agreement will be structured will take work given the financial problems of Barcelona, Rashford wages in Manchester United and the preference of the Old Trafford Club to sell rather than sanction another loan.
Aston Villa
It is understood that, if he cannot move to Barcelona, Rashford wants to move to another club in the Champions League.
It is for this reason that Aston Villa seems to be out of the race for the moment and has not concluded a permanent agreement that the brand of 40 million pounds sterling set by United.
