Rashford is now poised to put pen to paper over an 12-month loan with an option to buy, after United gave the green light to the deal.

The 27-year-old was told he had no future at Old Trafford, but will see his earnings take a hit at the Camp Nou.

He is one of Manchester United’s highest-paid players, earning in excess of £325,000-a-week, and talkSPORT understands Barca will cover 100 per cent of these wages during his loan spell.

However, Rashford has had to accept a significant salary reduction to make the move happen, which will see him earn around €10m [£8.6m] gross, including bonuses – a huge drop from his £16.9m-per-year wages at United.

  • With the Spanish giants facing financial difficulties in recent years, LaLiga president Javier Tebas claimed Williams’ move fell through as the club were unable to guarantee his registration.Last season, Barca made the headlines after they were only able to register new signings Dani Olmo and Pau Victor after the season had started, and later saw their registrations voided amid an ongoing battle with the Spanish football council.
