Barcelona's already impressive front line is about to be boosted by the signing of Marcus Rashford. Rashford is in Barcelona to complete a move from Manchester United, a person with knowledge of the transfer told The Associated Press on Monday. The person did not want to be named because they were not authorized to speak about it publicly. The loan deal would give the 27-year-old England forward, once considered among Europe's top talents, a chance to revive a career that stalled in recent years after falling out of favor at United and ending last season on loan at Aston Villa. Spanish media said the one-year loan agreement with United would give Barcelona an option to buy Rashford for about 30 million euros ($35 million). Barcelona had the best attack in Spanish soccer and one of the most prolific across Europe last season, but had been trying to add another piece to the frontline to go along with young star Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and veteran Robert Lewandowski. Rashford has spe

Manchester United completed the signing of Brazil international Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers on Thursday. The 26-year-old forward signed a five-year contract to 2030, with the option of a further 12 months. "Ever since I was a child in Brazil watching Premier League games on TV at my grandmother's house, United was my favourite English team and I dreamed of wearing the red shirt," Cunha said. United paid a reported 62.5 million pounds ($84 million) for Cunha, who is expected to be one of several signings for the fallen Premier League giant as coach Ruben Amorim looks to overhaul his squad following a woeful season. Cunha scored 17 goals for Wolves last season. The United attack had the fifth worst scoring record in the English top flight last term. "All my focus is now on working hard to become a valuable part of the team, and helping get this club back to the top," he said.

Manchester United's fortunes will turnaround next season provided players are ready to step up to the challenge and the club is able to get it right when it comes to fresh signings, said Harry Maguire here on Thursday. Manchester United finished at a lowly 15th spot last season with 11 wins, 18 defeats and nine drawn games while they began their postseason tour of Asia with a 0-1 loss to Asean All-Stars team in Kuala Lumpur in a friendly game on Wednesday. "This year has obviously been a difficult season in the Premier League. But I'm sure next season will be a lot different. There will be a lot of changes in the summer some players will leave and hopefully new ones will come in, Maguire told the media here at the launch of Apollo Tyres' United We Play. That's down to the club to get right. And for us as players, we have to step up. Playing for this club is special," he added. Maguire said he is happy with his own performance and hoped everything falls in place for the team which
Manchester United began an offseason tour after its worst Premier League season in almost expected fashion, losing its first match against a Southeast Asian All-Star team 1-0 in Kuala Lumpur. The reaction was swift on Thursday, and from one of the highest places in the land. Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim suggested United could be relegated after watching the visitor lose, despite the fact it was probably affected by jet lag. Ouch. Man United failed to win another trophy, Ibrahim, one of 72,500 fans at Bukit Jalil Stadium in the Malaysian capital, wrote on social media in a post translated from Malay. Looks like you're in for another tough season, hope you don't drop to the Championship, he added, referring to England's second tier into which the bottom three teams in the 20-team Premier League drop into every season. On Sunday, United finished 15th in the Premier League, its lowest ever ranking in the competition, just four days after a loss in the Europa League final to

England will send a record six teams into the Champions League next season, further fueling the wealthy Premier League's financial power over the rest of Europe. Manchester United and Tottenham advanced Thursday to an all-English final of the second-tier Europa League, with the winner of that match earning a place in the next Champions League where the prize money is typically four times greater. Man United and Tottenham's good results in Europe while struggling badly in the Premier League also contributed to English clubs' collectively strong season. Chelsea also advanced Thursday to the final of the third-tier Conference League and will play Real Betis. The weight of money in the Premier League means that even malfunctioning teams such as Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham have budgets that are multiples of those of the clubs with which they are competing, said Kieran Maguire, a soccer finance expert from The Price of Football podcast.
