Barcelona are looking to pounce on an interesting situation unfolding at Man United, as Ruben Amorim doesn’t seem to fancy any major talent at Old Trafford.
The Portuguese arrived in Manchester last month to replace Erik ten Hag and the Premier League giants’ board have a lot of faith in the 39-year-old to take the club to the top of the English game.
It has been a mixed start to life at Man United for the young manager, but United’s win over Viktoria Plzen on Thursday saw Amorim joins an elite group of managers at the Manchester club.
Having changed the system at Old Trafford, one player Amorim has not considered is Marcus Rashford, as the home hero has not been a regular starter since the Portuguese manager took over. The England star has started the last two Premier League games from the bench, which will not go down well for him at the end.

The 27-year-old has underperformed for two seasons at the Manchester club and many Red Devils supporters have had enough of the player.
A report of GIVEMESPORT claim that if Amorim cannot fit Rashford into his system for the remainder of the 2024/25 campaign, the winger could be sold next summer.

Should Man United be open to selling Rashford next summer, the report claims Barcelona are likely to become the main contenders to sign the winger.
The La Liga giants are interested in the 27-year-old and will look more closely at a potential deal in the new year if they suspect he could be snapped up after being skeptical about tempting him away from the Manchester club. PSG and Bayern Munich have also been named as potential destinations for the Englishman.
Rashford can only cost £40m this summer taking into account his recent performances and it will be necessary to see if Barcelona can afford it.
The Catalan club are still dealing with financial issues and considering they already have incredible wingers, the Spanish giants may decide to spend that money in other areas.
