Rumour Has It: Barcelona plotting shock move for Man Utd’s Rashford

Barcelona’s financial issues mean they need to get crafty in January transfer window.

The Catalans lost Lionel Messi during the off-season and have struggled this term.

Barca were bundled out of the Champions League this week but will be keen to rescue their season.
