Manchester United is reportedly planning a significant move in the current transfer window, with manager Ruben Amorim eager to strengthen his squad by signing a Barcelona player. According to Spanish outlet “El Nacional,” Amorim is interested in bringing in a Barcelona star in exchange for allowing Marcus Rashford to move to the Catalan club. Amorim sees Danish center-back Andreas Christensen, who has recently recovered from injury, as the ideal addition to United’s defense.
With Premier League experience from his time at Chelsea and strong defensive abilities, Christensen has become a top target for United, who are looking to reinforce their defense after a mixed season.
Barcelona, on the other hand, might be open to Christensen’s departure. As the club needs to free up wages for new signings in the summer, coach Hansi Flick could approve the transfer, especially if it helps secure Rashford’s arrival.
Negotiations between the two clubs are expected to continue in the coming days, with both sides hoping to finalize the deal before the summer transfer window begins. If completed, Barcelona would lose a key defensive player but gain a talented forward in Rashford.
