Marcus Rashford issues Barcelona come-and-get-me plea in clear hint over future
Marcus Rashford has been tight-lipped on his uncertain future so far this summer but now the Manchester United star has broken his silence, hinting at a dream move to Barcelona Marcus Rashford has dropped his biggest hint yet that he wants to join Barcelona. The Manchester United star, 27, appears to have no future at Old Trafford after falling out of favour under Ruben Amorim and being loaned out for the second half of last season. Rashford's brother and agent, Dwaine Maynard, was seen meeting Barca sporting director Deco in Catalunya last month. The England international joined Aston Villa on loan in January but the Premier League club look to have seemingly decided against exercising their option to sign him for £40million. That's the fee which United are continuing to hold out for and if no buyer is found, he'll return to United for pre-season training and their subsequent tour of the United States. But if Barcelona can work out a deal, Rashford has already given them the green light. Speaking while on holiday in Marbella, Rashford was asked by Spanish YouTube channel XBuyer whether he wants to play with Barca wonderkid Lamine Yamal in the future. "Yeah, sure. Everybody in the world wants to play with the best," the forward replied. "So hopefully, we'll see..." Continuing to praise Yamal, Rashford said: (Yamal) is gonna be… it's difficult to put into words what he's doing because he's not supposed to be doing it at 16, 17. He's playing at the highest level, I don't think we've seen it. To have his mentality is a skill. "He's not normal to be doing what he does and he will keep improving. (The Ballon d'Or) If you look at it in football ability he has to win, but then you look at Ousmane Dembele, the Champions League." The 27-year-old then sent a message to Barcelona manager Hansi Flick, suggesting that he can be Robert Lewandowski's long-term successor up front. "For me as I've got older, the No.9 position is becoming more comfortable, more natural," Rashford added. Would Marcus Rashford be a success at Barcelona? Give us your prediction in the comments section. Barca fans will also be take note of his comments about life in Spain. "Spain is nice, it's not too far from home," he continued. "If I'm training over a long period, my family can come for a few days, it's a nice location and good weather." Rashford also revealed how he looked up to former Barcelona forward Thierry Henry during his childhood. He explained: "Henry was comfortable playing off the left and in the middle, he's free flowing. When I was young I always enjoyed watching clips of him." Join our new MAN UTD WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Manchester United content from Mirror Football.

Ollie Pope century silences critics as England fight back against India
Ollie Pope repaid England's faith and banished further questions over his place as his fine century helped turn the tables on day two of the first Test against India. Pope's grip on the number three spot looked shaky at the start of the summer as Jacob Bethell pushed hard for the shirt, but having shored up his position with 171 against Zimbabwe last month he put the debate to bed with 100 not out against the might of Jasprit Bumrah and company. Ben Stokes had claimed it would be 'remarkable' to dispense with his vice-captain and those words chimed as Pope led England to 209 for three in response to India's 471 at Headingley. The tourists had earlier missed the opportunity to bat their opponents out of the game, losing seven for 41 as Josh Tongue and Ben Stokes finished with four wickets apiece. Their combined efforts rebalanced the game after India's serene progress on day one but the presence of Bumrah cast a long shadow. The world's best bowler lived up to the billing, ripping out Zak Crawley with the new ball and returning for Ben Duckett and Joe Root, but his best was not quite enough to remove Pope. Twice he saw genuine edges sail through gaps in the cordon and when one did go to hand at gully, Yashasvi Jaiswal spilled him on 60. Pope dealt admirably with the interrogation, never losing his composure and scoring 13 fours in a 125-ball ton boasting plenty of character. The milestone may have arrived with a scratchy single into the leg-side but it was fitting that it came off the relentless Bumrah. The day began ominously for England, who took the field at 359 for three and soon began dancing to Rishabh Pant's tune. Resuming on 65 he became the third centurion of the innings with some outrageous hitting. He ramped Shoaib Bashir's first ball over slip, rang up the 400 with a fierce pull for six and flogged the spinner one-handed over the ropes to bring up his hundred. He marked the occasion with an extravagant front flip to delight the crowd but as soon as his stand of 209 with captain Shubman Gill was over, it was England making the big moves. Karun Nair bagged a duck on his first appearance in seven years, Pope snatching a smart one-handed catch, then Pant paid for a moment of indecision as he squared up then offered no stroke as Tongue attacked from round the wicket. The Nottinghamshire seamer had waited an hour and 40 minutes to get his hands on the ball but he made up for the wait, clean bowling Ravindra Jadeja, Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna in a four-over spell of four for 11. A rain shower delayed the start of the England innings, which began with clouds above, floodlights on and Bumrah licking his lips. He picked off Crawley with menacing efficiency in the first over, prying around the outside edge twice before having him caught at slip with a cracker. The rest of his spell was edge-of-the-seat viewing – hitting Ben Duckett on the toe for a tight lbw shout and twice coming close to having the left-hander caught at backward point. Pope also had a stroke of luck on 10, saved only by the yawning gap where fourth slip should have been. But whenever Bumrah was not bowling it was a different game. Runs came easier at the other end, with England's natural aggression meaning a regular supply of boundaries. At one stage Bumrah even proved his fallibility by fumbling the ball over the rope at fine leg. Pope has a reputation as a skittish starter but he looked calmer than usual, his footwork less erratic and his drives a little crisper as England took tea at 107 for one from just 24 overs. Duckett reached 50 with a classic sweep but when Pope followed after the break it was another moral victory for Bumrah. Tearing back in from the Pavilion End he drew a thick edge and was let down again, with no third slip in place. Pope's luck was in once more when Jaiswal put him down and Bumrah eventually took the catchers out of the equation as he finally got a second scalp, flattening Duckett's middle stump via a drag-on. Pope was made to work for his century, trading blows with the seamers until he finally reached the landmark and erupted in celebration. Root succumbed to Bumrah's very next delivery and Harry Brook was caught off a no-ball in a dramatic finish, leaving Pope standing tallest at stumps.

‘I was going mental!' says Royal Ascot punter after bagging huge win from ‘incredible' £10 bet
ONE lucky punter has landed himself £14,158 from a spectacular £10 bet at Royal Ascot. The plucky racegoer stuck a tenner on a three-horse bet to earn himself the hefty payday on Friday. 2 The customer backed Venetian Sun in the Albany Stakes, Never Let Go in Sandringham Stakes and Adrestia in the Palace of Holyroodhouse Stakes in a £5 each-way treble. All three horses didn't just place, but actually WON their respective races. The punter, who had backed the trio at 10/1, 16/1 and 6/1, will have been in shock after only deciding to back the horses thanks to the tips in the Ladbrokes shop he went into. He told Ladbrokes: "I just went with the tips in the Ladbrokes shop! "I couldn't believe it when I was on for the win going into the final race. "I was watching the Holyroodhouse and thought if Adrestia gets out, she's not getting caught. I was going mental!' While Cal Gildart of Ladbrokes said: 'After punters left us with our tail between our legs the previous day, this customer landed one of the bets of Royal Ascot on a day when upsets might have otherwise left us smiling. Congratulations on an incredible win. 'They'll never let go of this memory – and might already be planning a fitting trip to Venice with their winnings!' Elsewhere at Ascot there was chaos when winning horse Lazzat almost drop-kicked a groundsworker in the head after getting loose and going mad. The Wathnan-owned sprinter just bagged more than half a million quid for winning the Group 1 Platinum Jubilee Stakes over six furlongs. Chaos at Royal Ascot as winning horse Lazzat goes mad and almost KOs groundsworker with kick But when jockey James Doyle was about to be interviewed by ITV, the 9-2 winner appeared to get spooked by a cloth being raised in front of him. Like a red rag to a bull, the fired-up four-year-old dumped Doyle to the turf, turned round and then galloped off down the track. 2 Commercial content notice: Taking one of the offers featured in this article may result in a payment to The Sun.
