Manchester United are hoping a strong World Cup performance from Marcus Rashford will attract permanent buyers after Barcelona declined to trigger their £26 million option to sign the forward following his season-long loan.

Manchester United are banking on the World Cup to boost Marcus Rashford’s transfer value after Barcelona declined to exercise their £26 million purchase option.

Rashford returns to England camp after a productive loan spell in Spain, where he registered 14 goals and 14 assists.

United are eager to offload the 27-year-old winger permanently this summer to clear his heavy £325,000-per-week wages from their books.

England manager Thomas Tuchel previously challenged the forward’s consistency, stating, “It’s not a question of talent, it’s a question of whether he can prove the point at club and international level.”

Rashford faces stiff competition from Anthony Gordon to start Wednesday’s opening match against Croatia.

However, strong tournament performances could prompt potential suitors, including Bayern Munich, to green-light a summer move.
