Manchester United forward talks up 17-year-old
Barça also retain interest in Nico Williams
The dream destination for Marcus Rashford after his exit from Manchester United appears to be Barcelona after he declared an interest in playing alongside Lamine Yamal.
An interview with Spanish YouTuber Javi Ruiz revealed something of the 27-year-old’s thoughts on his future. Asked if he would like to be teammates with Lamine Yamal, Rashford said: “Yes, for sure. Everyone wants to play with the best. Hopefully … we’ll see.” Barcelona’s sporting director Deco told Catalan radio station RAC1 in May that the club “like” Rashford.
Rashford, whose own breakthrough at United came as an 18-year-old, with four goals in two games against Denmark’s FC Midtjylland and then Arsenal in February 2016, said “It’s difficult to put into words what [Yamal] is doing because he’s not supposed to be doing that at 16 or 17. I don’t think we’ve seen that before.”
