With Barcelona reluctant to put their money where their mouth is, Rashford finds himself in an uncertain situation.

According to Sky Italia, Manchester United are interested in Baturina amid the possibility of his summer departure. It is understood that Leeds United have already made an unsuccessful attempt to sign Baturina in the past.
