Marcus Rashford has gone public with his desire to play alongside teenage superstar Lamine Yamal at Barcelona as he continues to seek a move away from Manchester United.
Rashford has been keen on a move to Barcelona for some time and his brother Dwaine Maynard held talks with Barcelona sporting director Deco in Spain last month over a potential £40million move.
With the Catalan side switching their focus onto Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams for now, the out-of-favour United forward took matters into his own hands by sitting down with Spanish influencer Javi Ruiz in Marbella.
Asked if he would like to one day play with Barcelona superstar Lamine Yamal, Rashford said: ‘Of course I’d love to. Everyone wants to play with the best. Hopefully… we’ll see.’
Rashford’s future prospects at United under Ruben Amorim seem futile after a falling out and his priority is to land a move to Spain.
‘Spain is nice, and it’s not too far from home,’ Rashford added to the YouTuber.
