Man Utd's Reaction to Marcus Rashford's Form at Barcelona as 'Nightmare' Avoided
Manchester United's reaction to Marcus Rashford's red-hot form at Barcelona has emerged in a revealing report.
Rashford joined Barca from Man United on a season-long loan during the summer transfer window, having fallen out of favour under Ruben Amorim last season.
He has scored five goals in 13 matches across all competitions and recorded an assist in his side's El Clasico defeat to Real Madrid on Sunday.
His form at Barca has impressed the higher-ups, who plan to make his deal a permanent transfer, with the Catalan side having the option to sign him for £26 million.

According to TEAMtalk, Man United are 'happy' that Rashford is doing well in Spain, with the Red Devils pleased that they did not offload him to another club in the Premier League.
Sources have told TEAMtalk that despite Rashford's stellar performances at Barca, Man United have no regrets over sanctioning his departure.
What's more, Man United are happy the 27-year-old is doing well as it means that Barca will make the deal permanent, with the Old Trafford outfit having also avoided the 'potential nightmare' of him doing well at another club in England.
"I do not believe Man Utd have regrets over loaning Rashford to Barcelona," revealed Dean Jones.
"To be honest, I think the way it’s working out is actually quite good for them. He was never going to recapture form at Man Utd, and his value was going down.
"They have also managed to avoid the potential nightmare of him doing well at another Premier League club."
Rashford has featured regularly under Hansi Flick, who has made his feelings clear on the star forward.
Speaking ahead of the El Clasico, the England international was asked about his future to which he replied by expressing his desire to remain at Barca.
"Oh yeah, for sure," he said on wanting to stay at the Spanish giants.
He added: "I’m enjoying this football club and I think for anybody who loves football, Barcelona is one of the key clubs in the history of the game. For a player is an honour.”
