Rashford future unclear as Barca consider Lewandowski exit

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford faces an uncertain summer after emerging as a potential target for Barcelona, who are weighing whether to part with veteran striker Robert Lewandowski. The Catalan club’s willingness to move the Poland international could open the door for a marquee attacking arrival, and Rashford’s name has surfaced as a possible successor.

The England international’s current situation at Old Trafford remains fluid, with no guarantee he will remain part of the club’s long-term rebuild. Sources close to the player indicate that no final decision has been taken, leaving the door ajar for a switch to La Liga should Barcelona accelerate their plans.

Elsewhere, Middlesbrough are bracing for a financial windfall as winger Morgan Rogers attracts mounting transfer interest. Championship rivals and Premier League scouts have been alerted to the 21-year-old’s progress, and a lucrative move before the window closes could bankroll further squad strengthening for Michael Carrick’s side.

In Manchester, captain Bruno Fernandes is increasingly likely to stay at United despite earlier speculation linking him with a move away. Negotiations over fresh terms have gained traction, and the Portuguese playmaker is now expected to lead Erik ten Hag’s midfield next season.

Brighton & Hove Albion manager Roberto De Zerbi, meanwhile, has signalled that further squad surgery is on the horizon after the Seagulls secured another top-half finish. The Italian tactician has already overseen a series of changes and is preparing to wield the axe again to keep the club progressing.
