Man Utd think Marcus Rashford now worth £50m after Barcelona spell

Manchester United have reassessed Marcus Rashford’s market value and now rate the forward at around £50 million following his productive loan spell with Barcelona, according to a report in The Mirror.

Rashford, operating under Hansi Flick at the Catalan club, has contributed 10 goals and 10 assists in 34 appearances across all competitions this season, form that has prompted United to reconsider the financial terms they originally set for the temporary switch.

The loan agreement includes a purchase option fixed at roughly £26 million, yet Barcelona are said to be exploring the possibility of driving that fee down. United, however, are unwilling to entertain a reduction and are increasingly adamant that the 26-year-old’s performances have pushed his valuation closer to the £50 million mark.

The Mirror adds that “several other clubs” have now entered the race for Rashford’s signature, further complicating the situation. While the player has publicly expressed a desire to remain at Camp Nou beyond the current campaign, it remains uncertain whether Barcelona will meet the £26 million clause before it expires.

Uncertainty also lingers at Old Trafford, where Michael Carrick has taken caretaker charge until the end of the season. Carrick is believed to be open to reintegrating Rashford into the United squad, yet the club’s managerial picture beyond May is still unclear, leaving every option on the table.

With the summer window approaching, Rashford’s future sits at the intersection of Barcelona’s financial constraints, United’s revised valuation, and the growing interest from rival suitors. The coming weeks will determine whether the England international’s Spanish sojourn turns into a permanent stay or becomes a springboard for another high-stakes transfer saga.
