Manchester United's decision to sell Marcus Rashford to Barcelona for just £26 million is causing regret among the club's senior figures. The deal, which saw Rashford join the Spanish giants on loan last summer, has since seen him revive his career and become a key player for both Barcelona and the England national team. With 10 goals in 35 appearances, Rashford's value has skyrocketed to an estimated £50 million, leaving United bosses wondering what they were thinking. But here's where it gets controversial... United agreed to give Barcelona the first option to sign Rashford for no more than £26 million, and now they're left wondering if they could have gotten more. The club's co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, is keen to offload Rashford from the wage bill, but he's not happy about the prospect of allowing Barcelona to land the 28-year-old on the cheap. And this is the part most people miss... While Rashford is only the sixth biggest earner in the Barcelona squad, he was once one of United's highest-paid stars. So, what went wrong? The loan deal lacked a recall clause, meaning United couldn't bring him back even if they wanted to. Now, with Rashford desperate to make his move to Barcelona permanent, the club is left with a difficult decision. Will they try to negotiate a higher price with Barcelona, or will they accept the loss and move on? The future of Marcus Rashford remains uncertain, and the debate over whether United could have gotten more for him continues. So, what do you think? Agree or disagree?
