Marcus Rashford\u2019s \u2018preference\u2019 if he doesn\u2019t get his desired move to Barcelona has been revealed and it brings a return to Manchester United \u2018back into play\u2019.<\/p>\n
Rashford<\/a><\/strong> hasn\u2019t kicked a ball for United since December 2014 after falling out with Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n He\u2019s since enjoyed loan spells at Aston Villa and, last season, Barcelona, for whom he got 14 goals and 14 assists across all competitions.<\/p>\n That wasn\u2019t enough to persuade the Catalans to take up their \u20ac30m [\u00a326m] option<\/a><\/strong> to make his loan move permanent this summer though after they signed compatriot Anthony Gordon from Newcastle for \u00a370m.<\/p>\n Barcelona are interested in another loan move for Rashford but United only want his permanent exit, with plenty of suitors circling.<\/p>\n READ MORE: England player ratings: Kane, Bellingham, Madueke star in wild 4-2 win over ageing Croatia<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n United have so far been adamant that there\u2019s no way back for Rashford as they target West Ham\u2019s Crycensio Summerville as a new left wing option.<\/p>\n But according to The Athletic<\/a>, \u2018the prospect of him staying comes back into play\u2019 after revealing his \u2018preference\u2019 if his move to Barcelona isn\u2019t forthcoming.<\/p>\n The report claims that Rashford and his representatives \u2018have not entirely given up on Barcelona returning to the table later in the summer\u2019, but although a \u00a340m clause available to all potential suitors, excluding Manchester City and Liverpool, Rashford would rather stay at Old Trafford than move to another Premier League side.<\/p>\n The report states:<\/p>\n \u2018From Rashford\u2019s perspective, in the scenario that he is still a United player by the time he returns to Carrington after the World Cup, his preference is believed to be to see out the final two years of his contract rather than join another English club.<\/p>\n \u2018If Rashford holds to that desire, and if United hold to demands that suitors refuse to meet, the prospect of him staying comes back into play.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Newcastle and Tottenham are among the Premier League clubs set to be denied his signing as a result of this reported \u2018preference\u2019.<\/p>\n Ferdinand votes for Rashford U-turn<\/p>\n\n
