After several weeks of uncertainty, FC Barcelona has reportedly made a decision regarding Marcus Rashford. The England international is not expected to continue his adventure in Catalonia and is set to return to Manchester United.

Marcus Rashford's stint at FC Barcelona appears to be coming to an end. According to multiple Spanish media outlets, the Catalan management has decided not to activate the purchase option for the English forward, who was on loan this season from Manchester United.

However, this decision is reportedly not related to the player's on-field performances. Rashford, who has notched 8 goals and 7 assists in 32 La Liga appearances, made a significant contribution during his time in Catalonia. Nonetheless, the arrival of Anthony Gordon has reshuffled the deck in Barça's attacking department, prompting Hansi Flick to favor other profiles for next season.

🚨 BREAKING: Barcelona will NOT pay €30m buy option clause for Marcus Rashford, expiring in 5 days.

Unless there is an unexpected twist during the summer, Marcus Rashford is set to return to Manchester United after the 2026 World Cup, as he awaits the next chapter of his career.
