Marcus Rashford has been handed a fresh blow as the Manchester United star continues to face an uncertain future, with a key ally set to leave. Rashford spent the season on loan at Barcelona, having previously expressed a desire to leave Old Trafford last summer.
The England international went on to score 14 goals and provide 14 assists for Barca during his loan spell, but it’s still unclear where he will be playing his football next season.
Barcelona have an option to sign Rashford on a permanent deal for £26million this summer, but the La Liga giants are yet to show signs that they will activate the clause any time soon.

As a result, it’s unclear what the future holds for Rashford, and now there has been a fresh update on the United loanee’s future ahead of the summer transfer window.
Spanish news outlet Sport have reported that Barcelona are planning to let Roony Bardghji leave the club this summer.
Barca signed Bardghji last summer from FC Copenhagen on a permanent deal and agreed a four-year contract that runs until the summer of 2029.
However, due to a lack of playing time for Bardghji this season, Barcelona are reported to be looking at a move for the 20-year-old this summer, which could include a loan deal that may have the option to be made permanent.
It’s been reported that both Bardghji and Barcelona boss Hansi Flick are in agreement that a move away this summer is the best option.

Rashford have formed a close friendship with Bardghji during his time at Barcelona, and the departure of the Sweden international could serve as a major blow to the United loanee.
It’s already uncertain as to what will happen with Rashford this summer, particularly after Barcelona chose to sign Anthony Gordon from Newcastle.
The Spanish giants confirmed the deal last week, with the England international moving to the Camp Nou in a deal reported to be worth €80million (£69.2m).
Rashford and Gordon typically perform in the same role, so it’s unclear at this point as to whether or not Barcelona will choose to sign the United star on the back of bringing his England teammate to the club.
There have also been reports that Barcelona could look to sign Bernardo Silva this summer as a free agent following his departure from Manchester City.
Crucially for Rashford, it has been suggested that a move for Silva could then result in a potential deal for Rashford no longer being on the cards.
