Marcus Rashford is hours away from being unveiled as a new Barcelona signing.
Ineos have been desperate to offload players this summer, and Marcus Rashford is the first to head for the exit.
Manchester United have agreed to loan Rashford to Barcelona this summer, with a buy option attached to the deal for next summer.
Rashford has received a warm welcome from Barca fans after arriving in Spain on Sunday evening, and now he is busy undergoing his medical and finalising the move.
When Marcus Rashford will be unveiled at Barcelona
With the final touches of Rashford’s deal being completed on Monday, Barcelona have already set a time and date for his official unveiling.
According to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, Rashford was initially scheduled to be unveiled on Tuesday, but a double training session means it has been pushed back.
Instead, Rashford is set to sign his contract at 5pm BST on Wednesday afternoon, sitting alongside Barcelona president Joan Laporta.
He will then make his first statements to Spanish media after confirming his move. He will have already completed three training sessions with his new teammates by that point.
Rashford will then join Barcelona’s tour of Asia, where he will face former United teammate Jesse Lingard.
Marcus Rashford shirt number options at Barcelona
Rashford will likely pose with a Barcelona shirt at his unveiling, and Spanish media are already speculating on what number he will wear.
At United, Rashford was stripped of his No.10 shirt, which was instead given to new signing Matheus Cunha this summer.
During his loan spell last season, Rashford wore the No.9 at Aston Villa, but that is taken by Robert Lewandowski at Barcelona, while Lamine Yamal has just been given the iconic No.10 shirt.

Mundo Deportivo have highlighted three shirt number options for Rashford to consider – 14, 19 or 22.
Given that Rashford previously wore the No.19 at United – and that it is Yamal’s old number – that is the most likely outcome.
