Barca boss Hansi Flick believes that Rashford’s versatility makes him an attractive proposal and a top alternative about Nico Williams.
The Spanish international was the top attack destination of the Catalan giants this summer, but he decided not to move to the NOU camp, so that he would instead sign a new long-term deal with athetic Bilbao.
Rashford is one of the best paid players from Manchester United and earns more than £ 350,000 a week.
After Rashford borrowed the second half of last season in Aston Villa, he was informed that he had no future under Ruben Amorim.
The Premier League giants recognize that the chances of finding an association that will permanently sign it this summer are slim.
His No. 10 shirt has already been handed over to New Signing Matheus Cunha, which is connected to wolves for £ 62.5 million.
Rashford 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 sign it permanently for £ 40 million.
Talk sports reported in April, Rashford sees Barcelona as his dream train.
But the former winger of the Premier League, Darren Ambrose, argues that, given his latest form, he “does not deserve” to play for a historical club like Barcelona.
The ex-Newcastle and Crystal Palace star said to Talksport: “It is what he has wanted for a few years, Marcus Rashford. He was open about his wish to play for Barcelona.

“I’m surprised, I’m not going to lie. I’m surprised. I look at it and I think an on-form marcus rashford can go in the Barcelona team.
“But that’s the problem. When was this form? Where was this form? He played a few good games in Aston Villa, but in Manchester United it was really terrible last season. The last two seasons.
“So you think in shape:” Ok, yes, he has a chance “, but will he really play in Barcelona? I don’t know.
“It is not really a risk for Barcelona. It is a loan with the option for sale.
“But I don’t think he’s earning it at the moment, given the form he was in.
“He is still a player of the highest quality, there is a high -quality player if he wants to make it out, but I don’t think that football is in the foreground of its priorities in recent years, apart from the time when he was borrowed to the villa and cuts it down to some extent.”

An uncertain future at United became apparent in January when Amorim suggested that he would rather play a goalkeeper coach about the striker.
Rashford was absent in a series of Premier League games, with his head coach led his work morality as the reason.
“It’s always the same reason,” he said. “The reasons are training, I see what a footballer should do.
“In training, in life and it every day, every detail. So if things don’t change, I won’t change.
“It is the same situation for every player. If you do the maximum, we can use every player if you do the right things.”
