Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford has said he would like to play alongside Barcelona star Lamine Yamal.

Rashford, who has been training in Spain ahead of pre-season, has praised the 17-year-old sensation during an interview with Spanish influencer Javi Ruiz.

“Yes, for sure. Everyone wants to play with the best. Hopefully… we’ll see,” Rashford said, when asked pointedly if he would like to play alongside Yamal.

Barcelona sporting director Deco went public last month that the Catalan side “like” Rashford, along with Liverpool winger Luis Diaz.

The Catalan giants are also believed to be interested in Athletic Club winger Nico Williams.

It was reported earlier this month that Manchester United had not received any offers for Rashford, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa.

The England international is under contract at Old Trafford for another three years but his future at the club remains unclear.

“It’s difficult to put into words what he’s doing because he’s not supposed to be doing that at 16 or 17. I don’t think we’ve seen that before,” Rashford added on Yamal.

Rashford is one of several players linked with an Old Trafford exit this summer as head coach Ruben Amorim looks to reshape his squad after the club’s lowest-ever Premier League finish last season.

Christian Eriksen, Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof have all been released while Jadon Sancho, Antony and Alejandro Garnacho are also said to be available.

Juventus have explored the conditions of a deal for Sancho, with Napoli also interested in the player, who has a year left on his contract and spent last season on loan at Chelsea.

In terms of incomings, United have completed a Ksh10.875 billion move to sign Matheus Cunha from Wolves and are also interested in Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo and Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres.
