Manchester United's transfer of Marcus Rashford (28) is likely to come to nothing. What's left is to remain at Manchester United and seek a revival again.

Feuds with Manchester United coach Hu Beng Amorim, drinking parties the day before training, speeding driving detection, and unexpected interviews to leave the club. No club could accept Rashford from Manchester United's Sunggol Youth, who has suffered the worst slump this season amid repeated deviations. Barcelona, which was the closest to a transfer, is also not in a situation where it can be recruited. In the end, the possibility of staying at Rashford Manchester United is only growing.

British media Express reported on the 24th (Korea time) that `Rashford's transfer history has entered a new phase' and that `Hope for a blockbuster loan deal with Barcelona disappears, and the possibility of staying at Manchester United is growing as time goes by.'

Rashford, a former Manchester United youth player who made his splendid adult debut in the 2015-2016 season, was once highly anticipated as a leading goal scorer for Manchester United. In the 2022-2023 season, he seemed to have full potential, scoring as many as 30 goals in official games in one season. Manchester United also gave Rashford a whopping 325,000 pounds (about 576 million won) per week.

However, Rashford's career has been on a sharp decline since he was intoxicated with quick success at an early age. Basically, I was so bad at privacy management. He was unfaithful in his training attitude and enjoyed drinking parties several times by local media in the UK.

In particular, the feud with coach Amorim, who took over during this season, was severe. Coach Amorim also expressed his will not to use Rashford, who was not sincere in training, completely excluding him from the 'Manchester Derby' against Manchester City held in the middle of last month. Rashford then made a bombshell announcement to leave Manchester United in an interview with the British Times.

He "I personally think I'm ready for a new challenge. It will be hard to leave Manchester United, but I won't say anything negative. The exclusion of the Manchester derby list was disastrous. But it's over, it's won, but (the team) have to move onHe said he would continue his career in a new place, not Manchester United, through the January transfer market.

Since then, Manchester United has moved to transfer Rashford in the January transfer market. At first, AC Milan, Juventus, and Napoli showed interest. However, in the end, it was connected to Barcelona in the Spanish Primera Liga.

Negotiations with Barcelona have also progressed considerably. Barcelona have directly expressed their desire for Rashford. We even met in person.

British media Daily Mail reported on the 23rd that `Barcelona Decu and Rashford met two days ago in Lisbon, Portugal.' However, this position ultimately led to the conclusion that Barcelona could not sign Rashford.

The Express explained that just a few weeks after Rashford publicly admitted he was ready for a new challenge, there could be a situation where he would have to stay at Manchester United again.

Barcelona is in a bad financial situation. Since salary cap is also full, even the players who were previously recruited cannot be properly registered. Although he was interested in Rashford, it is difficult to pay an annual salary of 18 million euros (about 27 billion won). So originally, I was going to sort out the players. Attempted to sell Eric Garcia and Ansu Fati etc. However, this work was not done properly.

Citing a report by The Athletic, the media reported that 'Garcia is expected to remain in Barcelona. Partey is also reluctant to leave the team, he explained.

In the end, Barcelona seems to be leaving the negotiating table. In a recent meeting, Deku also reportedly explained to Rashford that he did not have enough room to recruit Rashford.

Now all Rashford has left is a return. Rashford also quickly sensed this atmosphere and started trying to catch Amorim's eye again. He actively participated in team training on the 22nd ahead of the UEFA Europa League Page 7 against Rangers in the 2024-2025 season. The Express reported 'Rashford was shown training with teammates and coaching staff at Carrington training ground in the run-up to the Rangers match. It seems that he immediately changed his posture after hearing that his trip to Barcelona was canceled.
