Manchester United player’s versatility an asset

Flick believes Rashford would enhance his options

Barcelona are eyeing a loan move for Marcus Rashford, with the 27-year-old’s flexibility across the frontline viewed as an asset.

Barcelona’s No 1 target is Nico ­Williams but even if the Athletic ­Bilbao wide player is signed, Hansi Flick believes the Manchester United forward would enhance his options.

Rashford’s pace from the wing and ability to operate at No 9 would deepen the squad and give the head coach a capable deputy to Robert Lewandowski at centre-forward.
