\"Marcus<\/figure>\n\nFlick was interested in having the deal finalized in time for the tour, to give Rashford time to adapt, while from the club’s point of view it was also the most affordable option.\n\nRashford joins an attack that already includes Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, Ferran Torres and Dani Olmo, as Flick looks to build on the success of last season.\n\nThe Bar\u00e7a won LaLiga, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup in the first season of the German coach, but lost to Inter Milan in the semi-finals of the Champions League.\n\nRashford has a point to prove after a difficult period at his home club.\n\nHe spent the last two weeks training outside of United’s first team after coach Ruben Amorim told him he wasn’t in his plans at Old Trafford.\n\nHe hasn’t played for United since facing Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League last December, as Amorim left him out for the 2-1 Premier League victory against Manchester City and didn’t consider him for the first team.\n\nA six-month loan to Aston Villa did not turn into a permanent transfer for an agreed fee of \u00a340 million ($53.6 million), but sources have said that Rashford has always preferred to join Bar\u00e7a.\n\nRashford, who has three years left on his contract with a salary of \u00a3325,000 a week at Old Trafford, scored 138 goals in 426 games for United since making his debut at 18 in February 2016.\n\nHe also helped United achieve success in the Europa League and two victories in the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup during his time at the club.\n\nMeanwhile, Barcelona and Braga have reached an agreement to transfer Pau V\u00edctor to the Portuguese club, but the Spanish striker is still negotiating the terms of his contract to finalize the deal.\n\nDeco and the leaders of the Portuguese club intensified negotiations in the last hours and reached an agreement on Wednesday morning.\n\nSources consulted have not yet revealed the final transfer price, but said the forward had been valued between 10 and 15 million euros.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
