Barcelona are looking to take advantage of the interesting situation developing at Manchester United, as Ruben Amorim does not appear to be eyeing a major talent at Old Trafford.
The Portuguese arrived in Manchester last month to replace Erik Ten Hag, and the Premier League giants' board are confident that the 39-year-old is the one to return the club to the top of the English game.
It has been a mixed start to life at Manchester United for the young coach, however, which saw United beat Viktoria Plzeň on Thursday Amorim joins an elite group of managers In Manchester club.
Having changed the system at Old Trafford, there is one player Amorim does not like in Marcus Rashford, as the local hero has not been a starter since the Portuguese coach took charge. The England star has started the last two Premier League matches from the bench, which will not sit well with the winger.

The 27-year-old has underperformed at the Manchester club for two seasons now, and many Red Devils fans have grown tired of the player.
Report from givemisport It states that if Amorim is unable to integrate Rashford into his system throughout the remainder of the 2024/25 season, the winger could be sold next summer.
Barcelona is ready to consider signing Manchester United star Marcus Rashford
If Manchester United are open to selling Rashford next summer, the report suggests Barcelona are likely to emerge as top contenders to sign the winger.
The La Liga giants are interested in the 27-year-old and will look at a potential deal closely in the new year if they suspect they can land him after previously being skeptical of luring him away from the Manchester club. Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich have also been named as potential destinations for the Englishman.
Rashford could cost just £40m this summer Given his recent performances and it remains to be seen if Barcelona can afford it.
The Catalan club continues to deal with financial issues and given that they already have impressive wingers, the Spanish giants may decide to spend that money on other areas.
