Manchester United winger Marcus Rashford is believed to favour a move to Barcelona if he leaves Old Trafford this winter
Manchester United winger Marcus Rashford was shown last night the difficulties of securing a move to Barcelona this winter as the Catalan club beat Benfica in a nine-goal thriller in the Champions League.
Rashford is not thought to have given up hope of returning to the United squad but has admitted that a new challenge away from Old Trafford is something he would be up for exploring. The move which appeals most to the Englishman is to Barcelona with Sport reporting on Tuesday night that the winger's representatives had met with the Catalan club's officials in Lisbon prior to the match with Benfica.
However, Garcia remains a key figure in the Barcelona squad, as proven when he made a goalscoring appearance off the bench when they beat Benfica 5-4 in the Champions League. But while Garcia continues to be used by the La Liga outfit, the reality is that his exit becomes less likely leading to Rashford's Barca dream dwindling further away.
