The website 'Football Transfers' reported that Manchester United might be open to the return of their English striker Marcus Rashford after his loan period with Barcelona ends, as discussions have taken place between officials of both clubs regarding the future of the 28-year-old player.

Despite Rashford's good performance with Barcelona, who are keen to retain him, the possibility of his return to Manchester United next season cannot be ruled out, especially if the Catalan club faces difficulty in affording a permanent purchase.

Manchester United views Rashford's return as an opportunity to strengthen their attack after the player has proven his ability to deliver outstanding performances, and his current improved form with Barcelona is an additional reason for the English club to keep the option of his return open, especially after he has shown superiority over other players in the team such as Matheus Cunha.

Rashford's current statistics:

So far this season, Rashford has scored 7 goals and provided 8 assists in 27 matches, outperforming Manchester United players:

Bryan Mbeumo: 18 matches - 8 goals - 1 assist.

Matheus Cunha: 21 matches - 4 goals - 2 assists.

A return to the Premier League remains a possible option, as the player seeks to reclaim his place in the team and compete for major tournaments, while Barcelona continues to closely monitor his career.
