Gary Lineker reacts as Man Utd outcast Marcus Rashford closes in on dream transfer to Barcelona

Rashford's misery at Old Trafford is about to end as he is all set to leave his boyhood club to complete his dream move to Barcelona, who have sent a proposal to United to sign the forward on loan this summer with an option to buy. Talks between the two clubs are at an advanced stage and the Blaugrana have agreed to cover the player's entire wages.

As Rashford is close to realising his dream to play for Barcelona, former England and Tottenham legend Gary Lineker has given his mark of approval to the transfer as he changed his profile picture on Instagram to an image of the two players wearing the No.10 shirts for England while standing in front of 10 Downing Street.

Lineker joined Barcelona in 1986 from Everton and spent three seasons at the club, where he scored 51 goals in 138 games and helped the club win a Copa del Rey title.

After playing out a goalless draw in their first pre-season friendly against Leeds United at Stockholm on Saturday, the Red Devils will now jet off to the U.S. for the remainder of their pre-season preparations and will next face West Ham on July 26.
