Marcus Rashford is reportedly a major target for Barcelona and the Catalan giants are willing to let Philippe Coutinho head in the opposite direction to pull off the deal.

Mundo Deportivo claim Coutinho will be used as bait to lure United into accepting it, with fellow Brazilian winger Malcom also a possible component of a swap.
Coutinho has struggled to make a massive impact at the Camp Nou since making a club record move from Liverpool just over 12 months ago. The midfielder arrived injured and, in truth, hadn't been on top form for the Reds in the months leading up to his sale.

The Spanish report adds that United have nonetheless already made contact with Coutinho's representatives in the hope of signing him this summer, providing Barcelona with what they see as a position of strength to negotiate an audacious bid for Rashford.
