“I don't expect my level to reach its peak now. I've spent nine years now in the Premier League and that has taught me a lot, helped me grow as a player and as a person. So I have nothing.” I regret the past nine years, and I won't have any regrets in the future because I take things day by day, sometimes bad things happen, sometimes good things happen, I just try to maintain a good balance.
For its part, Manchester United are ready to cash in on their home-grown star, who tops their wage bill by a huge sum £375,000 per week. Of course, that salary would be a major sticking point for any potential suitors, with few clubs on the planet able to afford that on top of what would likely be a hefty transfer fee for the England international.
However, one club is now said to have suggested a way out of what threatens to be a long-term standoff.
Barcelona is ready to make a swap offer for Rashford
That's according to a new report from Spain, which claims just that Barcelona is preparing a bold swap deal in an attempt to sign Rashford In January.
The report claims the Blaugrana are ready to offer striker Ansu Fati in exchange for the 27-year-old, and adds that the club have “started work on negotiations”.
Like Rashford, Fati is not popular at his club and receives a large salary (£221,000 a week in his case). Still only 22 years old, injury and form have seen him start just one La Liga game this season.
However, he is undoubtedly talented, having inherited Lionel Messi's jersey at Camp Nou and being singled out for praise by former coach Xavi, who He called him an “extraordinary talent.” After working with him.
Despite this, a deal seems a long way off, especially since Barcelona are already severely under the salary cap They cannot sign summer signing Dani Olmo For the second half of the season as things stand.

Adding Rashford to the mix could worsen the situation, while United will almost certainly demand a fee as well as the arrival of injury-hit Fati for any deal to go through.
