Marcus Rashford has lost his iconic No.10 jersey at Manchester United to new £62.5 million signing Matheus Cunha. With his future uncertain, Rashford has been given extra time to explore transfer options, with Barcelona showing strong interest. United value him at £40 million, and he may accept a pay cut to join the Spanish champions.
Coming to the latest development at Manchester United, Marcus Rashford has lost his iconic No.10 jersey to new signing Matheus Cunha, marking a major shift in the club’s squad dynamics. Cunha, who joined United from Wolves for £62.5 million on June 1, arrived at pre-season training this week and was spotted wearing the No.10 shirt, an indication of Rashford’s declining influence at the club.
Rashford, who had worn the number since 2018, has been given extended time off alongside Antony, Sancho, Malacia, and Garnacho to explore transfer options. Barcelona have shown strong interest in signing Rashford, with Manchester United valuing him at £40 million. However, Barcelona prefer a loan move due to their financial restrictions, which also prevented them from completing a £58 million deal for Nico Williams.
Rashford is reportedly willing to take a significant pay cut from his £325,000-a-week salary to join the Spanish champions. His brother and agent Dwaine Maynard recently met with Barcelona’s sporting director Deco to discuss potential terms. In a recent interview, Rashford expressed admiration for Thierry Henry’s playing style and showed openness to teaming up with Barcelona starlet Lamine Yamal, further fuelling speculation about a potential move to Camp Nou.
