Marcus Rashford has already weighed in on the debate about Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as he prepares to complete his move to Barcelona. The 27-year-old, who is a boyhood Manchester United fan, watched Ronaldo as a child before they were teammates during Ronaldo's ill-fated second stint at Old Trafford.
Paul Pogba has wished his former Manchester United teammate Marcus Rashford all the best as the England international closes in on a move to Barcelona—although that isn’t a stance universally taken by Old Trafford alumni.
Manchester United are facing the prospect of losing out on a potential £74million as Marcus Rashford lands in Barcelona to complete a loan move.

When Rashford's signing is confirmed, Barcelona boss Hansi Flick will hope to add more reinforcements to his squad who will be tasked with helping to defend the La Liga title. Goalkeeper Joan Garcia is the only other summer signing so far after making the £21 million switch from Espanyol earlier in the window.
