Barcelona are the club that have shown the most interest in Rashford and the Catalan club is the forward's destination of choice. However, Barca are keener to sign him on loan than permanently although their plans could change after missing out on Nico Williams following the Spain international's decision to sign a 10-year contract with Athletic Club. Bayern Munich are also said to be monitoring Rashford's situation. But the forward could be in action for United when they play against Leeds in Stockholm in their first pre-season game on July 19.
