Rashford&#8217;s form at United had been erratic before his loan move, but a fresh start in Spain seems to have restored his confidence.<\/p>\n<p>Sources close to the situation say the player himself is open to staying at Barcelona if an agreement is reached between the clubs, which could influence negotiations in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>United is unlikely to compromise easily, especially if there are already fixed clauses in the agreement.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Report: Man United keep close watch on managers of Premier League rivals<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marcus Rashford faces an uncertain future as Manchester United and Barcelona continue negotiations to resolve his future.The English forward, currently on loan from Man Utd, impressed during his time at Barcelona, \u200b\u200bbut turning his temporary move into a permanent move is proving to be more complicated than expected.
