Unwanted at Manchester United, yet wanted by Barcelona.

Marcus Rashford, an Old Trafford outcast since the end of last year, is edging ever closer to a dream move to the Nou Camp after a deal in principle was reached.

It's not a transfer which comes completely out of the blue, with Rashford reportedly long having his heart set on a switch to the Spanish giants and saying only last month he wanted to play alongside teenage superstar Lamine Yamal.

Barca, too, have not hidden their interest in the 27-year-old England forward. In May, sporting director Deco admitted they "like" Rashford and suggested he could "improve the team".
