Man United and Barcelona are currently in negotiations. Amorim is considering a “hot potato” transfer for Rashford.

Man Utd and Barcelona are currently in the process of negotiating a Rashford transfer deal, as Amorim is interested in a “hot potato” situation.

A swap deal involving wantaway forward Marcus Rashford is presently being ‘negotiated’ between Manchester United and Barcelona, according to reports.

Last week, reports surfaced that the Red Devils are prepared to sell Rashford for the highest possible price during the January transfer window, following their consideration of his sale during the summer.

Ruben Amorim, the new manager of Manchester United, excluded Rashford and Garnacho from his 20-man squad for the derby match against their archrivals, Manchester City, due to their conduct.

And Rashford stated in an interview on Tuesday that he is prepared to depart Manchester United, with the Red Devils forward in search of a “new challenge.

” At his press conference on Wednesday, Amorim appeared to minimize Rashford’s remarks and maintained that Manchester United are “better off” with the England international.

However, there are recent allegations in Spain that Barcelona and Manchester United are currently in the process of “negotiating a swap deal” that involves Rashford and Frenkie de Jong in advance of the January transfer window.

The Netherlands international has only started two matches in all competitions this term under Hansi Flick, and Manchester United are expressing a “great interest” in Barcelona midfielder De Jong.

The report characterizes De Jong as a “hot potato” at the Camp Nou, where the Catalan titans are “working on finding a solution” for their highest-paid player.

Erik ten Hag was enthusiastic about bringing the Dutchman to Manchester United during his tenure, and Amorim continues to believe that he could be an intriguing addition to the midfield.

Rashford has been offered to Barcelona president Joan Laporta and sporting director Deco as a bargaining chip, and Amorim “wants” him to depart.

Simon Stone, the senior football news reporter for BBC Sport, believes that Amorim has effectively addressed Rashford’s remarks and that it will be evident in the near future whether the Manchester United forward is included in his plans.

Stone stated, “If Manchester United provided advice on how to avoid further escalation of an already precarious situation, Ruben Amorim has implemented it.” “We have sufficient knowledge of Amorim to conclude that he is not a person who will withhold information solely for the sake of it.

Consequently, his assertions that Marcus Rashford is a significant talent are based on reality, and we require significant talents.”

However, this is also an instance in which actions will be more persuasive than words. “Amorim has expressed his desire for Rashford to remain.”

However, it is also necessary for participants to adhere to his standards. According to him, the performances on the training field will be used to evaluate Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho for selection.
