    WHAT NEXT FOR RASHFORD?

    Rashford may have to wait until late in the summer to seal a transfer to Barca. The club are intent on signing Nico Williams as a first-choice winger but could make a loan move for Rashford once they know their financial situation at the end of the window. For now, he is due to report for pre-season at United on July 7.
