Barcelona reportedly plan to move for Manchester United's Marcus Rashford if they fail with a bid for Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski.

Barcelona will reportedly try to sign Manchester United's Marcus Rashford if a move for Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski does not come off.

The Blaugrana are believed to have made Lewandowski a priority target for the summer transfer window, with the 33-year-old yet to agree an extension at the Allianz Arena beyond 2023.

Bayern will soon enter a second round of contract talks with Lewandowski, though, and CEO Oliver Kahn has ruled out the prospect of the Poland international leaving the club this summer.

Incoming Man United manager Erik ten Hag is supposedly keen to keep Rashford at the club, but Sport claims that Barcelona will test the Red Devils' resolve if Lewandowski stays at Bayern.

The report states that Ten Hag would be open to selling Rashford should the right offer come along, with the Dutchman supposedly set to be handed a £200m budget to improve the squad in the summer.

Rashford has amassed 93 goals and 57 assists in 301 appearances for Man United but has only netted four times in 23 Premier League games during a disappointing 2021-22 season.
