Marcus Rashford's hopes of making his Barcelona loan permanent have been hit by new LaLiga salary restrictions.

The Catalan club's spending power has been slashed by almost £100million in the latest official figures.

The Manchester United loanee has made an eye-catching start to life in Spain, scoring twice on his return to England in the Champions League win over Newcastle United this week.

But despite his flying form, the Spanish champions are now working within a dramatically reduced wage limit that threatens to block major future signings.
