The Barcelona Sporting Director has spoken about the potential signing Would the forward, currently on loan at Barcelona, be a good signing for the La Liga champions? Author |  Peter Grainger   What next for Marcus Rashford? youtu.be/YsWVOzZZWE0?... [image or embed] — Super News Affiliate ( @eurosuperfootball.bsky.social ) 23 May 2025 at 07:43 Rashford has been in reasonable form for Aston Villa since joining them on loan for the second half of the season from Manchester United. While he has impressed at points with four goals and six assists in 17 appearances for Unai Emery's side, his promising start for the club was curtailed by a hamstring injury.  It remains to be seen whether Aston Villa want to make this move permanent. For Rashford, it would be a much more attractive move if they qualify for next season's Champions League. Barcelona were said to be interested in signing Rashford on loan back in January, but were ultimately beaten to his signature by the Villa...

 Manchester United 4 - 1 Real Betis Manchester United beat Real Betis 4-1 in the first leg of the Europa League Round-of-16 clash. Marcus Rashford opened the scoring for the Reds in the sixth minute, with a rifling strike that emphatically flew past Claudio Bravo. Despite an excellent start by United, our goal would be cancelled out just after the half-hour mark due to the on-loan Ayoze Perez firing across David De Gea into the bottom corner.  Erik's reds prove too strong Antony restored United's lead with a trademark effort that curled beyond a stranded Bravo, who could only watch as it hit the top corner. Minutes later, Bruno Fernandes got in on the act from Luke Shaw's corner. The no.8 wasn't picked up as he wandered into the area to make it 3-1 on the night.  The final goal fell to Wout Weghorst, scoring his first in front of the Old Trafford faithful. Second-half substitute Facundo Pellistri was at the heart of the move, originally teeing up Scott McTominay who...

Manchester United have announced that Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard will leave the club once their contracts expire Both players drew widespread attention as part of United's Youth Cup winning side of 2011. Pogba departs again.  A statement on United's website reads: "The club can announce that Paul Pogba will leave Manchester United at the end of June, upon the expiry of his contract." The Frenchman has enjoyed a long association with United, having joined the club's Academy from Le Havre at the age of just 16. Pogba quickly progressed through the ranks, first impressing in the Under-18s and then swiftly moving upwards to the Reserves. In the 2011/2012 season, he made a few appearances. However, in the summer of 2012, due to strong competition for places at Old Trafford, Pogba joined Italian giants Juventus. He quickly became a success at Juve as he helped them lift four consecutive Serie A titles and two Coppa Italias. However, in 2016, he made the emotion...

Newcastle United 1 - 2 Barcelona Marcus Rashford made a spectacular Champions League bow for Barcelona as Newcastle United's campaign got off to a losing start at St James' Park. Author | Anthony Gates Stadium | St James' Park The forward, on loan from Manchester United, broke open a tense contest with two decisive second-half strikes that left Eddie Howe’s side chasing shadows. A closer analysis of what happened Howe had raised eyebrows with his team selection, opting to leave £69m summer signing Nick Woltemade on the bench and deploying Anthony Gordon through the middle. The experiment faltered as Newcastle found themselves increasingly overwhelmed by Barcelona’s control, with Rashford the clinical difference. It was an emphatic statement from Rashford, who featured in the tournament while on loan at Aston Villa last season, and who slotted seamlessly into Barcelona’s attack despite the absence of injured teenager Lamine Yamal . The 26-year-old received a standing ...

Barcelona 2 - 1 Real Sociedad Robert Lewandowski headed in a second-half winner as Barcelona came from behind to defeat Real Sociedad and move to the top of the La Liga table. Author |  Jack L Stadium | Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys Real Sociedad had taken a surprise lead in the 31st minute when Alvaro Odriozola slid in to finish Ander Barrenetxea's low cross on the counter-attack. Barcelona responded just before half-time as Jules Kounde met Marcus Rashford's corner with a powerful header to level the scores. Hansi Flick introduced Ballon d'Or runner-up Lamine Yamal in the 58th minute, and the 18-year-old immediately made an impact, beating a defender before delivering a precise cross that Lewandowski nodded home. Rashford, on loan from Manchester United, impressed once again, creating chances down the left and testing Sociedad goalkeeper Alex Remiro with dipping shots either side of the interval. He was withdrawn in the 78th minute, with Flick likely considering the ...

Aston Villa 1 - 1 Ipswich Town Ipswich Town produced a gutsy performance to claim a valuable Premier League point at Villa Park, despite playing almost an hour with 10 men. Author - Marcus Stadium - Villa Park The match had been uneventful until Axel Tuanzebe, facing his former club, brought down Jacob Ramsey on the edge of the area, picking up a second yellow card and leaving Ipswich with an uphill task. Up to that point, the visitors had defended resolutely, and they continued to frustrate Villa even with a numerical disadvantage. Against the run of play, Ipswich took a shock lead when Liam Delap beat Axel Disasi to Omari Hutchinson’s low cross, steering the ball into the far corner to silence the home crowd. As frustration grew among the Villa supporters, Ollie Watkins eventually levelled, reacting quickest after Marcus Rashford’s thunderous free-kick crashed against the crossbar. Villa pushed hard for a winner, with Marco Asensio missing a golden chance before forcing Alex Palm...

Manchester United's hunt for a striker has intensified They have submitted an offer for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, with the proposed deal potentially rising to £73.8m. The package includes a guaranteed £65.2m. Author | Olivia T youtu.be/3wGwO06N_rg?... Could Sesko be a good signing for Manchester United? [image or embed] — Super News Affiliate ( @sup3rnew5affiliate.bsky.social ) 5 August 2025 at 16:06 United believe the bid represents fair value for the 22-year-old Slovenia international, who is thought to be open to the move. Newcastle United have also made an approach for Sesko, but their offer is yet to be accepted. The formal bid marks a shift in United’s approach, amid previous suggestions they were reluctant to table an offer without clarity over the player’s willingness to join. Sources at Old Trafford believe that hurdle has now been cleared, and the club are prepared to part ways with Rasmus Højlund to create space in the squad. Sesko has scored 39 goals in 8...

Another Deadline Day signing for Villa They have also announced the loan signing of three-time Champions League winner Marco Asensio from PSG.

During a glittering career, he has lifted European titles with Real Madrid as well as domestic league titles and domestic cups in France and in Spain. He is comfortable playing on the wing as well as in an attacking midfield role. Asensio has also starred on the international stage, helping Spain win the UEFA Nations League in 2023. We believe that the deal does not include an option to make the move permanent. It does offer the player a chance to kickstart his career after a forgettable 18-month spell in Paris, where he made 47 appearances and scored seven goals. H...

Matheus Cunha to Manchester United? The Red Devils are continuing to explore potential manoeuvres in the market in search of attacking players, and one of the names that has gained strength in recent days is Matheus Cunha.  Author - Olivia T Source | Football Pictures Flickr The Brazilian forward, currently with Wolves, has shown outstanding performance in the Premier League, attracting the interest of major English clubs.  His ability to play in various attacking positions and his dynamism fit the profile that their manager is looking at. Cunha wants to make the step up While things didn’t work out for Cunha at Atletico Madrid, he has certainly revived his career since joining Wolves. He joined the Midlands side on an initial loan deal at the start of 2023 before the move was made permanent in the summer. While he prefers playing as a number nine, Cunha can pretty much feature anywhere in attack. His versatility, combined with his effectiveness in the final third, makes h...
