Marcus Rashford takes in Man United’s Europa League clash with Rangers from the Old Trafford stands despite there being three spaces on the bench

Marcus Rashford was seen watching Manchester United at Old Trafford from the stands as speculation swirls surrounding his future. 

Taking to Instagram, Rashford posted his view of proceedings, accompanied by the caption ‘Come on the boys’. 

His post comes as he trained with his Manchester United at Carrington on Wednesday ahead of the Red Devils’ Europa League match at home to Rangers. 

He was seen smiling during group exercises, with other shots demonstrating his focus on the session. 

Borussia Dortmund are also rumoured to be interested in signing Rashford, who has fallen out of favour under Ruben Amorim. 

Rashford’s representatives spoke to Barcelona director Deco on Tuesday – with the Catalans currently in competition with Borussia Dortmund to sign him on loan until the end of the season.

However, Dortmund is looking an increasingly unlikely destination for the wantaway Manchester United forward, with the German club having been priced out of being able to secure his services. 

They were one of the clubs in talks with the player’s team but his £350,000-per-week wages have all but ruled the German side out of the running for his signature, even on a short-term basis. 

The side had been leading contenders to land the forward after they made a concerted effort to convince him, with Sebastian Kehl and Sven Mislintat believing he could have same impact as Jadon Sancho last season.

United wanted a deal structured same way with loan fee and performance related bonuses.

The situation at Dortmund is further complicated by the sacking of head coach Nuri Sahin following the side’s defeat by Bologna in the Champions League on Tuesday night – their fourth loss in a row. 

The deal could still be revisited in final throes of window if cost comes down. Dortmund are also interested in Brentford’s Kevin Schade but he is valued at £45million.

Mail Sport reported earlier this month that Barca have held meetings with Rashford’s entourage, with several European clubs tracking the wantaway forward.

Rashford admitted in December that he was ‘ready for a new challenge’ away from Man United, sparking a scramble for his signature.

Barcelona are understood to have always been Rashford’s preference but given his £350,000-per-week wages, they would need to negotiate over the financial burden of a loan deal.

And further talks have now taken place between Rashford’s representatives and officials from the Catalan club, which included sporting director Deco.

The talks were held in Lisbon, with Barcelona in Champions League action in the Portuguese city on Tuesday night against Benfica.
