MARCUS RASHFORD's representatives have reportedly held talks with Barcelona over a winter move.
The England international revealed in a bombshell interview late last year that he wants to LEAVE Manchester United for 'a new challenge'.
A number of clubs are believed to be interested in acquiring the 27-year-old's services this month, including Barcelona.
And it is claimed that the Catalan club have made overtures to bring the Red Devils star to Camp Nou.
That's according to Sport, who claim that the LaLiga giants' sporting director – former Chelsea star Deco – has met with Rashford's team to discuss a possible transfer.
However, a move to the Catalan capital would depend on Eric Garcia leaving the Nou camp and a solution over Ansu Fati's future being reached.
United Academy graduate Rashford stunningly revealed his desire to leave Old Trafford in an unauthorized interview last December.
He dropped the blow after being banned by new Red Devils coach Ruben Amorim.
He told journalist Henry Winter: “For me personally, I think I am ready for a new challenge and the next steps.
“When I leave, it will be: 'No hard feelings.'
“You won't get any negative comments from me about Manchester United.
“That's me as a person. If I know a situation is already bad, I'm not going to make it worse.
“I've seen other players leave in the past and I don't want to be that person.
“When I leave, I will make a statement, and it will be mine.”
Amorim said of Rashford's revealing interview: 'It's a difficult situation.
“I understand that these players have a lot of people around them who make choices that are not the player's first idea.
“They chose to do the interview because it wasn't just Marcus.”
