Should the stand-off continue, Rashford will be expected to return to Carrington for pre-season after this summer\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Catalan daily SPORT report it is increasingly likely Rashford will be heading back to Manchester where another permanent move away will be explored.<\/p>\n<p>Rashford spent the second-half of last season on loan at Aston Villa with the publication reporting Tottenham have shown \u2018genuine interest in signing the 28-year-old.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-container shareable-item wp-caption\">\n<div class=\"img-wrap\">\n\t\t<img width=\"594\" height=\"396\" src=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2270063743.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=594\" class=\"article-image wp-image-27883008\" alt=\"Atletico de Madrid v FC Barcelona - LaLiga EA Sports\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>\t<\/div><figcaption>Rashford has scored 13 goals and laid on 13 assists this season (Picture: Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Any plans Tottenham have this summer however hinge on them avoiding relegation from the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>Despite winning their first game of the year away to Wolves on Saturday, Spurs remain in the relegation zone, two points clear of survival with four games left.<\/p>\n<p>Should they go down, any plans to sign Rashford will be a write-off.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-container shareable-item wp-caption\">\n<div class=\"img-wrap\">\n\t\t<img width=\"594\" height=\"396\" src=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2270583408.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=594\" class=\"article-image wp-image-28001080\" alt=\"Sunderland v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>\t<\/div><figcaption>Tottenham are scrapping for their Premier League lives (Picture: Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>United legend Rio Ferdinand recently described that reported \u00a326m arrangement with Barcelona as \u2018absolute robbery\u2019.
