Rashford drops Barca hint as he searches for fresh start

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has revealed that he wants to play alongside Lamine Yamal for Barcelona and that he hopes he will be able to.

Barcelona sporting director Deco and manager Hansi Flick have both gone public in their admiration for Rashford, who Manchester United are willing to sell. And the England international praised the 17-year-old winger Yamal during an interview with influencer Javi Ruiz.

When asked if he wanted to play with the Euro 2024 winner, Rashford replied: "Yes, for sure. Everyone wants to play with the best. Hopefully... we'll see."

Rashford broke into the United and England teams at 18 and is impressed by what Yamal has done at an even younger age. He added: "[It is] difficult to put into words what he is doing. He is not supposed to be doing that at 16-17. We have not seen that before. It is a skill to be able to play at that age with that mentality."
