Barcelona move into favourites to sign Marcus Rashford this summer
The future of Marcus Rashford is once again under scrutiny as Barcelona move into 3/1 favourites with UK Betting Sites to sign the Manchester United forward.
Rashford is currently on loan at Aston Villa, but reports suggest a £325,000-a-week wage demand could scupper any hopes of a permanent deal

It marks a significant shift in the betting landscape ahead of what could be a high-profile summer move for the 27-year-old.

Market Analysis: Barca Lead, But Villa Not Out
Barcelona’s move to the front of the market will raise eyebrows given their ongoing financial concerns. However, Rashford's commercial value is reportedly of interest to the La Liga club.
Aston Villa, once firm favourites, are now priced at 7/2 amid reports that Rashford’s salary demands are stretching the club’s wage structure.
Unai Emery is said to be keen on keeping the England forward, but unless there's a compromise on wages, Villa may walk away.
Staying at Manchester United is also 7/2 though Rashford’s fan perception has dipped significantly this season meaning a clean break may suit both parties.
