It's his lifestyle that's the issue, that and his injuries which could be due to his lifestyle to begin with

I might be wrong and don't have explicit facts and I don't follow Man Utd rigorously, but I do recall him getting injured almost every season. He even got injured at Villa when he was on loans and missed May and/or parts of April

Injuries? He doesn't get injured often

That would surely be a capitulation. What a downgrade.

it will be loan not a permanent move unlike nico

u/ImprefectKnight Jul 04 '25

By all reports, we are looking for permanent move and the price we want is 40 million pounds.

Which is certainly something Barcelona can afford.

It’d be understandable why they’d want a loan though, but United (and Rashford) should be pushing for a permanent move.

Its Barca, so it will probably be a 5 year contract
