Sources: Barcelona and Atletico Madrid make contact over 'unbelievable' Manchester United player
Yesterday at 04:45 PM
TBR Football can exclusively confirm that Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is the subject of interest from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
Rashford’s future at Manchester United is looking increasingly uncertain after falling out of favour under new Red Devils manager Ruben Amorim.
With the January transfer window now open, Man United will allow Rashford to leave the club, with a loan exit the likeliest outcome.
Rashford has a multitude of clubs keen on his services and an avenue he is particularly keen on has now opened up for him.

Marcus Rashford keen on Spain move as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid make enquiries
Sources close to Barcelona have confirmed to TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey that they have enquired about Marcus Rashford’s situation.
TBR Football confirmed earlier this week that Manchester United were now willing to allow Rashford to leave on loan.
That has peaked the interest of a host of clubs, including those who had previously shown no interest in launching permanent bids.
AC Milan have already held talks, whilst Juventus, Napoli, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and West Ham United have also made contact.
From the outset, however, a move to Spain was always believed to be Rashford’s preference and now options to possibly move to La Liga are emerging.
We understand Atletico Madrid are aware of the situation and have spoken with Rashford’s camp and now we can confirm that Barcelona have also now made contact.
We understand Barca’s sporting director Deco has made the enquiries.
Premier League could soon lose ‘unbelievable’ talent to overseas league
Rashford hinted at leaving Manchester United last month and since then, his future has become a hot topic involving Amorim's side.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe is reportedly keen on Rashford's exit as his departure is viewed as a decision that could indicate a culture shift at Old Trafford.
However, with Rashford reportedly earning £300,000-a-week, he would be difficult to sell this month, and the Red Devils have accepted that a loan is the likeliest option.
Rashford is a talented player deemed “unbelievable” by Alan Shearer and “great” by Harry Kane, but it looks increasingly likely that he’ll be plying his trade outside of the Premier League soon.
