Manchester United are in tentative talks with Barcelona over a loan move for 27-year-old forward Marcus Rashford, but there are doubts over whether the Spanish club will be able to complete the deal before Monday's deadline.

The 27-year-old was surprised by Ruben Amorim’s latest comments and faces spending the rest of the season on the sidelines unless he can secure a move away

Marcus Rashford must change in order to return to action for Manchester United, coach Ruben Amorim said on Wednesday ahead of their final Europa League league phase match against Romanian side Steaua Bucharest.

On why Rashford is not making matchday squads: "We are a better team with Marcus Rashford. That is clear. He is a big talent. But until it changes [approach to training], then it is the same." He said it is "really important" to beat FCSB because avoiding the play-offs "would be massive" for resting players.

Rio Ferdinand has said there is "no way back" for Marcus Rashford at Manchester United after his commitment to the team was questioned by manager Ruben Amorim.
