Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has openly expressed his interest in playing for Barcelona alongside the rising star Lamine Yamal. The 27-year-old, currently undergoing fitness training in Spain, shared his thoughts in an interview with Spanish influencer Javi Ruiz.

Rashford stated, "Yes, for sure, Everyone wants to play with the best. Hopefully... we'll see." This comes amid ongoing speculation about his future at Manchester United, where he has made 426 appearances.

Lamine Yamal, just 17 years old, played a pivotal role in Barcelona's domestic double and their journey to the Champions League semi-finals last season. His performances have drawn comparisons to football legends, with Rashford praising his exceptional skills and mentality at such a young age.

Reports from April suggested that Rashford felt it was unlikely he would continue under Ruben Amorim at Manchester United. The Portuguese manager had dropped him from the squad in December, leading to a loan spell at Aston Villa for the remainder of the season.

Barcelona's sporting director Deco has previously shown interest in both Rashford and Liverpool winger Luis Diaz. However, financial constraints could pose a significant hurdle in any potential transfer. The club's adherence to the '1:1 rule' in La Liga limits their spending based on their income, complicating any move for the English forward.

Another factor influencing Barcelona's transfer strategy is their recent agreement with Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams. Despite the agreement, the deal remains incomplete due to the club's financial restrictions.

Rashford has predominantly played on the left-hand side for Manchester United but has been adapting to the striker role. He mentioned, "The number nine position for me is becoming more natural. Playing with my back to goal is becoming easier. You are near the goal so you are dangerous."

As the football world watches closely, the potential move of Marcus Rashford to Barcelona could be one of the most intriguing transfers of the season, especially with the prospect of him teaming up with the sensational Lamine Yamal.
