Rashford is now ready to spend a pen over a 12-month loan with the option for purchase after United gave the green light to the deal.

The 27-year-old was told that he had no future in Old Trafford, but will achieve a success in Camp Nou.

He is one of Manchester United’s best paid players, who earns more than £ 325,000 a week, and Talksport understands that Barca will cover 100 percent of these wages during his loan.

However, Rashford had to accept a significant reduction in salary to achieve the move, which will earn around € 10 million [£8.6m] Gross, including bonus a large decline of 16.9 million GBP per year at United.

Barcelona made England International this summer to her top transfer destination after missing the Spanish star Nico Williams, who instead wrote a new long-term deal with sporty Bilbao.

In view of the Spanish giants who have had financial difficulties in recent years, Laliga President Javier Tebas said that Williams’ step had been going through because the association could not guarantee its registration.

Last season Barca made the headlines after they were only able to register new signatures after the beginning of the season, and later their registrations saw in a continuing fight with the Spanish football council.

And according to Andy Brassell from Talksport, this is a problem that could affect Rashford in Spain again.

Brassell said in the Transuropa Express: “He takes a reduction in wages to achieve this, but there is still no guarantee.

“This is something that we have to keep in mind as with every signing in Barcelona. Nico Williams has covered that from the deal.”

“Rashford has no enormous amount of possibilities, partly because of his salary, partly because of a disappointing last year, even if he has shown parts of his old himself in the Aston Villa.

“Both sides needed this quite bad, which I think is a great message for Marcus Rashford.

Despite the question of when he could be able to play for Barcelona, Rashford’s step is an opportunity to revive his career.

After loaning the second half of last season in Aston Villa, he was informed that he had no future with United under Manager Ruben Amorim.

The United Academy graduate impressed in Villa Park with four goals and six templates in 17 appearances, but Unai Emery and his club decided to pass on their option to permanently sign it for £ 40 million.

And when Rashford, shortly before the end of Barcelona, the chief football correspondent of Talksport, Alex Crook, the steps he took broke off to move his dream.

CROOK said: “What he did is, he has not bonuses and image rights, it corresponds to a year in his salary package, which he did not have to reach this dream train for Barcelona.

“We have been talking for some time that this was really the only club he wanted to go to this summer.

“I don’t think they would ever make a permanent offer for Barca because they know that Manchester United is so desperate to get rid of Marcus Rashford.

“His relationship with Ruben Amorim was broken beyond the repair. There is a purchase option in the shop. It is a little cheaper than the one you negotiated with villa in January.

“I was told that it was about 30 million pounds. He arrived in Barcelona overnight.”

One of his former teammates, Paul Pogba, was pleased with Rashford to move to Barca and insisted that United would lose a great player.

“This is crazy, but I’m happy for him because she [United] took his number, ”Pogba told streamer Ishow speed.

“Manchester United loses a great player. Bad luck for her.

“It’s great for Barcelona to be honest. I’m not even talking about United because you bought a few new players and the new manager wants to do his thing, I think.

“It’s not really him [Amorim’s] Mistake. If he doesn’t believe in someone. He has to win. If he doesn’t win, you will be released. “
