THE FUSE

The Blaugrana hierarchy had previously met with Rashford’s representatives to discuss a permanent move, but his erratic performances in high-pressure matches have changed the internal narrative.

This change in stance followed a dip in form during a critical period, leading club officials to explore alternative options despite earlier discussions regarding a potential multi-year agreement for the United loanee.
