Manchester United have no intention of re-negotiating a transfer fee for Marcus Rashford with Barcelona. United hope that selling Rashford and wiping his salary off the wage bill will contribute to some significant savings this summer. United’s second-quarter financial results will be released a week tomorrow, and the figures will underline the importance of qualifying for the Champions League this season. Missing out this season cost United around £100m in Champions League revenue, as well as the £10m penalty payable to sponsors Adidas. Carrick is believed to be on a modest bonus to take United back into the Champions League, but the benefit for the club would be huge.
