Barcelona to Cut Marcus Rashford Loan Short, Reports Marca
According to Spanish newspaper Marca, FC Barcelona has made the decision to end Marcus Rashford's loan spell from Manchester United in the January transfer window. Rashford joined Barcelona on a season-long loan with an option to buy during the summer, but his time at the Camp Nou has not gone as expected.
