JAKARTA - Manchester United does not plan to renegotiate the terms of Marcus Rashford's permanent transfer to Barcelona.
Launching ESPN, The Red Devils expect the LaLiga giant to pay the agreed fee in the summer if they want to keep the English striker.
Rashford joined Barcelona on a season-long loan deal last summer.
Under the terms of the agreement, the LaLiga club have the option to make the transfer permanent for a previously agreed fee - believed to be between 30 million and 35 million euros - at the end of this season.
There is speculation that Barcelona could try to re-negotiate with Manchester United in the hope of negotiating a lower fee.
However, The Red Devils are reportedly not willing to do so and expect to receive the full fee if Rashford stays in Spain after the summer.
Meanwhile, Rashford wants to stay at Camp Nou. The 28-year-old was marginalized at Old Trafford under Ruben Amorim and joined Aston Villa on loan in January 2025 before joining the Blaugrana six months later.
ESPN said that Manchester United's attitude towards Rashford has not changed even though Amorim has left and Michael Carrick has been appointed as interim manager.
However, Carrick has considered bringing Rashford back and has not told club officials about his desire to explore the possibility of the player returning at the end of this season.
Rashford had his best season for Manchester United during the 2019/2020 season under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who at that time had Carrick in the coaching staff.
So far, the attacker has been impressive at Barcelona, scoring 10 goals in 34 appearances in all competitions.
He is tied to Manchester United until 2028 after signing a long-term contract extension in 2023.
