Manchester United have confirmed that new signing Matheus Cunha has taken Marcus Rashford’s<\/a> No.10 shirt. Brazilian forward Cunha joined the Red Devils from Wolves<\/a> in a \u00a362.5million transfer deal on June 1<\/a>.<\/p>\n The 26-year-old met up with his new team-mates for the first time on Monday, as United began pre-season training<\/a>. Cunha was seen wearing the No.10 on his training gear as he starts life under Ruben Amorim<\/a>.<\/p>\n Reports emerged last week<\/a> claiming that Rashford would be losing the number which he’s worn since 2018. It was also revealed how United have allowed the England<\/a> international to delay his return to training alongside four team-mates.<\/p>\n Rashford, Antony<\/a>, Jadon Sancho<\/a>, Tyrell Malacia<\/a> and Alejandro Garnacho have all been given additional time to explore a move away before the summer transfer window closes on September 1. Barcelona<\/a> are the favourites to sign Rashford, who the Red Devils have slapped a \u00a340m price tag on<\/a> – the same amount which Aston Villa<\/a> passed up on following his loan spell.<\/p>\n Barca would prefer a loan deal, however, as they’re struggling to register players with La Liga<\/a> amid their well-documented financial woes. The Spanish champions missed out on the \u00a358m signing of Nico Williams<\/a>, as they couldn’t guarantee the Athletic Bilbao<\/a> winger that they’d be able to register him.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Man Utd hold fresh Bryan Mbeumo transfer talks as Ruben Amorim sets deadline<\/a>READ MORE: Man Utd could miss out on \u00a335m transfer target as rival club plots double swoop<\/a><\/p>\n Liverpool<\/a> forward Luis Diaz<\/a> is also said to be keen on joining Barcelona and boss Hansi Flick<\/a> has described both him and Rashford as ‘fantastic players’. Last month, Rashford’s brother and agent, Dwaine Maynard, was spotted meeting Barca sporting director Deco for talks.<\/p>\n It’s been suggested that the United wantaway would be willing to take a significant pay cut on his \u00a3325,000-a-week salary to join Flick’s domestic treble winners. Recently, Rashford was asked by Spanish YouTube<\/a> channel XBuyer<\/a> whether he’d like to play alongside Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal in the future.<\/p>\n Which club should sign Marcus Rashford? Let us know your pick in the comments section<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Content cannot be displayed without consent<\/p>\n “Yeah, sure,” he replied. “Everybody in the world<\/a> wants to play with the best. So hopefully, we’ll see.”<\/p>\n Rashford also compared himself to ex-Barca striker Thierry Henry<\/a>, adding: “I see myself reflected in Henry. He’s comfortable playing on the left and also in the middle. He’s a free player.<\/p>\n “As I’ve developed, the number 9 position has become more comfortable, more natural. Things like playing with my back to goal are becoming easier for me. You’re always in front of goal and always dangerous.”<\/p>\n Join our new MAN UTD WhatsApp community<\/a> and receive your daily dose of Manchester United content from Mirror Football<\/strong>.
