Manchester United star Marcus Rashford is reportedly stalling over a new contract as Barcelona are linked with a summer swoop.
The England star is wanted by the Catalan club as they eye a long-term replacement for Luis Suarez and the gulf between the two clubs was magnified as they thrashed United 3-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Despite interest from elsewhere, United have been keen to tie him down to a new long-term deal with his current contract set to expire at the end of next season but containing an extra 12-month option in favour of the club.
Yet according to Daily Mail , Rashford is in no rush to commit his future to the Red Devils given the magnitude of the task Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has to rebuild their squad.

The Manchester-born academy product is a key part of Solskjaer's long-term plans but Rashford representatives realise he has a strong bargaining position knowing he could take his pick from top European clubs.
United are said to be relaxed about the situation and feel initial negotiations have been positive as they try to tie Rashford down.
His camp are said to be demanding wages in excess of £200,000 per week as well as assurances he will be utilised in a central role.
What David de Gea said to Man Utd teammates after Barcelona mistake
Rashford was one of the few players to emerge with credit from their heavy Barcelona defeat, but Solskjaer is said to have noticed a change in his attitude in recent weeks as he grows frustrated by their poor form.
Plenty of United's top stars have been linked with summer moves away from Old Trafford, with Paul Pogba touted with a Barcelona move and David De Gea yet to commit his long-term future with a contract extension.
