On Tuesday, Rashford surprised fans by stating that he is “ready for a new challenge” after not being included in the 20-man squad for the Manchester City derby at the Etihad last Sunday.
This unexpected exclusion sparked rumors that the Red Devils may be open to selling him.
Ruben Amorim downplayed Rashford’s comments during a press conference on Wednesday, insisting that Manchester United are “better with” the England international.
Barcelona is one of five clubs prominently linked with signing Rashford.
Furthermore, the 27-year-old’s recent social media activities have fueled speculation about a possible move to the Nou Camp.
Rashford left a fire emoji “
” on Yamal’s post, which featured the Spanish player revealing the Golden Boy trophy to Barcelona supporters last Sunday.
One excited fan commented: “I feel like Rashford could end up being a Barcelona player.”
Another added: “Rashford to Barcelona is on the cards…

A different user remarked: “It would be wild to see Rashford in Blaugrana colors.”
Yet another said: “I’d be happy to have him at Barca if he’s interested in joining.”
Speculation indicates that Barcelona and United might entertain a swap deal involving Rashford and Frenkie de Jong, according to a report from Spanish outlet Madrid-Barcelona.
De Jong, a previous target for United, has made only TWO starts in all competitions this season under Hansi Flick.
During his tenure, former coach Erik ten Hag showed interest in bringing the Dutch midfielder to Old Trafford, and Amorim believes he would strengthen the midfield.
However, Barcelona may find it challenging to match Rashford’s impressive £350,000-a-week wage.

In the meantime, Alejandro Garnacho was also left out of the squad for United‘s match against Manchester City.
Directly after the late comeback victory against City, Rashford praised his teammates moments after Amad Diallo scored the decisive goal in the 90th minute during the 2-1 win.
The striker expressed his delight by posting “Yesssssssss! Love it lads” alongside a photo of Diallo and Lisandro Martinez celebrating.
Old Trafford legend Roy Keane opines that the one-club stalwart might be better off making a move as his future remains uncertain.
If Rashford chooses to leave, the only realistic option for matching his current salary would likely be with Paris St Germain.
Any transfer to another club would likely mean a significant pay cut or a jump to the less competitive arena of Saudi Arabia.
Today, Rashford will await news on whether he has been selected for United’s quarter-final Carabao Cup matchup against Tottenham scheduled for Thursday.
Man Utd player ratings vs Man City as remarkable Amad Diallo turns derby on its head
AMAD DIALLO stunned Manchester City with an extraordinary performance that tilted the derby in United’s favor.
The dynamic winger earned a penalty, converted by Bruno Fernandes, to equalize.
