It was previously believed that Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford’s move to Barcelona was only a matter of time. However, a surprising contender has emerged from within England.
Details: According to Spanish outlet El Nacional, West Ham has unexpectedly become the frontrunner in the race for the United academy product. The Hammers are reportedly preparing to take concrete steps in the coming days to initiate negotiations with both the player and Manchester United.
Rashford himself is reportedly open to a move to London, with the main factor behind this shift being the arrival of Graham Potter as West Ham’s head coach.
Reminder: Barcelona was previously thought to be preparing funds for Rashford’s transfer by selling players like Óscar Mingueza and Ansu Fati.
