On May 12, news was released by Hupu. Based on an article written by Tyrone Marshall, a senior Manchester United and team reporter for the Manchester Evening News, it can be known that in the fierce game on Sunday night when Barcelona defeated Real Madrid and secured the La Liga championship, Rashford once again showed his dazzling light, successfully opening the victory channel for the team with an extremely exciting free kick. However, after the celebrations ended, the implications of a series of remarks he made after the game made the future development situation more and more confusing and elusive.
As the noise of the championship celebration gradually subsided, Rashford told reporters this way. He claimed that he was not a magician, but if he were a magician, he really expected to stay and see what would happen. This is his fourth goal in the last six La Liga games. This goal also brings his contribution to 28 direct goals in 47 games for Barcelona in all competitions this season.
However, even so, the possibility of Barcelona activating his 30 million euro buyout clause still seems to be decreasing. Sunday's El Clasico may have epitomized his whole season. It was a superb moment, and then gradually disappeared from the game, and was replaced by Rafinha in the 64th minute. He has not completed a full game in the league or Champions League since December 6 last year. Even so, Rashford himself has made it clear that he is willing to stay at Barcelona. Even when Yamal was absent, even when Rafinha was absent, Flick chose to start Fermin. In the two home games, Flick chose to start Baldeji. In these two home games, he could only sit on the bench, but he still hopes that this will end with staying on the team.
However, Manchester United does not seem to be prepared to be led by others. Barcelona may seek to renegotiate or even extend the loan contract. However, Manchester United refuses to make concessions. The club has clearly told the La Liga giants the transfer fee required. If not paid, Rashford will return to Carrington after the World Cup. A year ago, he was thrown into the unused list by Amorim. Now he may be treated more gently under Carrick's management, but this definitely does not mean that reintegration into the team is being seriously considered. There is almost no sign that Manchester United will give him a way out, and there is almost no proof that he wants this way. Now the two seem to be sliding towards an inevitable collision.
