MU makes a decision on Rashford.

Manchester United sent a strong message to Barcelona that they will not sell Marcus Rashford cheaply in the 2026 summer transfer window.

MU will not lower the price for Rashford.

The English forward has impressed greatly since moving to Nou Camp on loan last summer. Under the agreement, Barcelona have the option to buy Rashford permanently for £26 million at the end of the season. After 34 appearances, scoring 10 goals and providing 13 assists, the Catalan club wants to keep him long-term.

However, Barcelona's difficult financial situation has led them to hope they can renegotiate the transfer fee. Nevertheless, Manchester United have no intention of compromising. The Red Devils' management believes £26 million is a reasonable price for a player whose contract runs until 2028.

The Premier League club also expressed surprise at reports from Spain suggesting they were willing to lower the price. If they sell Rashford, MU will free up £315,000 per week in their wage bill.

Rashford's departure will provide Manchester United with a significant budget for reinvestment. Other high-earning players like Casemiro and Jadon Sancho are also nearing the end of their time at Old Trafford, further increasing United's financial flexibility.

Conversely, Rashford will no longer play for MU from December 2024 and will lose the number 10 shirt to Matheus Cunha under former manager Ruben Amorim. A departure in the summer of 2026 is considered a likely scenario.

Reasons why MU's winning streak ended: MU didn't lose because of a lack of effort, but because their attack was ineffective and their attacking tempo was disrupted at crucial moments.
