It has been claimed that Rashford has decided to call it time on his stint at Old Trafford after spending his entire career at the club. Things have not gone his way over the last couple of seasons after what was the best season of his career in 2022-23.

Barcelona keen on a move for Manchester United target: Reports
Spanish giants Barcelona are reportedly plotting a move for Xavi Simons who has been heavily linked with Manchester United in recent months. As reported by David Ornstein via Reshad Rehman on X, the Blaugrana are believed to be keen to reunite with their former academy graduate.
Simons spent the formative years of his youth career at Barcelona but was snapped up by Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 2019. The Dutchman, currently at RB Leipzig on loan from PSG, has since made a name for himself as one of the most exciting young players on the planet.
Simons has been excellent for RB Leipzig on loan since the summer of 2023 where he has produced 13 goals and 17 assists in 54 games. He is capable of playing either as a number ten or on either flank and even as a second striker.
The 21-year-old has no shortage of suitors for his services including the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool. The Red Devils reportedly made a failed approach to land the Netherlands international in the summer.
