WHAT HAPPENED?
The England international has reportedly been eyeing a Barcelona transfer for some time, and now the former Aston Villa loanee has, arguably, dropped a not-so-subtle hint that he wants a Blaugrana move. He also backed the 17-year-old Yamal to win this year's Ballon d'Or.

WHAT RASHFORD SAID
When asked if he wanted to play with Yamal one day, he told Spanish YouTube channel XBuyer in Marbella: "Yeah for sure, everyone in the world wants to play with the best. Hopefully, we will see." And on Yamal's Ballon d'Or chances, he added: "If you look at it just off football ability, he has to win."

Rashford likely has no future at United after falling out with head coach Ruben Amorim. It does not seem certain that Villa will take up the £40 million ($53.8m) option to sign the 27-year-old this summer, and with Barca reportedly set to sign Athletic Club's Nico Williams, he is facing an uncertain future.

WHAT NEXT?
Red Devils academy product Rashford, who has just returned from a hamstring injury that ended his season early, will continue his summer break before potentially returning to United next month for pre-season. That is, unless, another team opts to sign him.
