Marcus Rashford is set to choose between two squad numbers when he joins Barcelona on loan from Manchester United.
It’s understood an agreement in principle is in place for the deal, with Barcelona set to cover Rashford’s £315,000-a-week wages and include an option to buy for around £40million next summer.
Mail Sport revealed in January that the 27-year-old had his heart set on a move to the Nou Camp before United struck a deal with Aston Villa to take him on loan.
However, Rashford’s brother and representative Dwaine Maynard flew to Spain to hold talks with Barca sporting director Deco in May, and the deal moved closer after Nico Williams decided to stay at Athletic Bilbao rather than join the Catalan giants.
