Marcus Rashford heads to World Cup in limbo despite proving his value to Barcelona

Forward has generally thrived at the Camp Nou but Gordon’s arrival plus his salary and United’s transfer demands mean next move is not obvious

The next chapter of Marcus Rashford’s dysfunctional relationship with Manchester United may involve a long summer waiting to discover where he plays next season. h-doctor.club

A state of limbo for a forward expected to start England’s World Cup opener against Croatia on 17 June in Dallas is an unusual predicament. Yet this is the latest juncture in a period of career uncertainty that began when the former head coach Ruben Amorim excluded Rashford from his first-team plans. That was in December 2024, loans at Aston Villa and Barcelona followed, and Rashford is still looking to put down roots, perhaps in Catalonia, something he may well have expected to transpire after scoring a free-kick against Real Madrid that proved pivotal in Barcelona’s La Liga-clinching clásico victory this month.

El delantero mantiene su deseo de continuar en el FC Barcelona, aunque a día de hoy todavía está ralentizando sus movimientos y mantiene como buena la conversación que Hansi Flick sostuvo con el extremo inglés al final de temporada en la que le daba opciones de continuar en el Barça.

When WNBA expansion was discussed in previous years, it was all about wanting more. More cities where a new batch of fans can cheer for their new home team, more roster spots to limit the painful training camp cuts, and more overall opportunity for players to showcase their talent in the best women’s professional basketball league in the world. For the three expansion teams in the last two years: check, check and check.

In a single season last year, the Golden State Valkyries were able to prove just how deep this league really is. Their star players had been role players on other teams. Veronica Burton, who was waived by the Dallas Wings in 2024, went on to win Most Improved. Kayla Thornton received her first All-Star selection after only averaging 5.5 points with the New York Liberty the season prior. Both helped the Valkyries become the first expansion team to earn a playoff spot in year one. The talent was always there, but with more varied opportunities to show their skills, the results were different.

French Open: Chwalinska Dominates Kalinskaya

Chwalinska is dominating the quarter-final match against Kalinskaya at the French Open, leading 5-1. The 5ft 5in left-hander is making up for her lack of height and power with intelligent tactics, constantly drop-shotting and slicing Kalinskaya into submission.

The Polish player broke Kalinskaya's serve to go up 3-1 and continued her aggressive play, leaving the Russian player totally befuddled by her rhythm disruption. Kalinskaya attempted to counter with drop-shots but they didn't work in her favor as Chwalinska charged forward to win points.
