Rashford watched on from the stands as the Red Devils picked up a dramatic 2-1 win over Rangers on Thursday night.

The 27-year-old has reportedly been offered to clubs all over Europe this January.

But only Barcelona remain in the race as teams struggle to take on Rashford’s £325,000-a-week wage packet.

According to reports in Spain, Rashford is “willing to lower his salary” in order to push through a loan move to the Nou Camp.

Mundo Deportivo cite negotiations between Rashford’s camp and Barcelona sporting director Deco.

The report suggests the Catalan giants are struggling to afford the England striker’s wages unless they offload players.

Rashford is reportedly “aware” of the issue and would “take a pay cut” in the short term to make the move happen.

Even then, it would take United paying “at least half of the forward’s salary” for a deal to be struck.

Dortmund, AC Milan, and Napoli have all been linked with a move for Rashford this January.

But all have found his wages to be a stumbling block in negotiations.

The striker signed a bumper new five-year deal with his boyhood club in the summer of 2023.

It saw Rashford become the third-highest earner at Old Trafford.

Just 18 months later, Amorim was unable to confirm on Friday if he would ever pull on a United shirt again.

Asked about the England forward’s future, the Portuguese boss replied: “I don’t know. I really don’t know.

“We will see in the end of the window what ­happened.

“And then we will talk about that in the moment.”

United currently sit 13th in the Premier League table with just one win from their last five games.

The Red Devils have lost 10 of their 22 league games this season, with a tough visit to Fulham next up on Sunday.

Kate pulled her blonde locks into a stylish up-do to attend the Dior event in the French capital.

She kept a straight face as she left the shindig at The Ritz, keeping her make-up simple so her natural glow shone through.

It came after the Croydon-born catwalk star was hailed one of the most beautiful women, according to science.

Mum of one Kate was found to be 94.14 per cent accurate to the Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi – which measures physical perfection.

Her eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, chin, jaw and facial shape were measured and came closest to the ancient Greeks’ idea of perfection, with a golden ratio of 94.14 per cent.

Dr Julian De Silva said: “Kate Moss is the most beautiful of all the supermodels and was the clear winner when all elements of the face were measured for physical perfection.

“Kate has been the face of UK modelling for the last 30 years and is a wonderful ambassador for our fashion industry.”

PARTY GIRL

The beauty reveal came after the model whipped up a storm for her lavish 51st birthday bash at three different London venues.

The party followed the former Topshop collaborator’s split with her aristocrat boyfriend of nine years.

The Sun was first to report her sad break-up with Nikolai von Bismarck, with the bash marking the first sign of her newly-single status.

For years, Kate lived in the sleepy Cotswolds with photographer Nikolai, who is teetotal and prefers the quiet life.

A source previously told us: “Now that her daughter Lila is all grown up and she is single again, Kate feels like she wants to let her hair down and be carefree — which is not something she’s been able to do for a long time.

“She is looking on the bright side of life. Although it’s sad her relationship is over, she is throwing herself back into her social life and embracing the new year.”

Kate and Nikolai started dating in 2015 and, since then, she has been living a more wholesome life.

As well as more time spent in the countryside, she launched her wellness brand, Cosmoss.

But it sounds as though the fun and flirty Kate will be back with gusto. A source said when the couple split: “She felt they were going on different journeys in life.”

IT’S TIME to bring back the weekend break as experts say Brits favouring day trips is not good news for the future of seaside towns.

An expert has claimed that the economy in some of the UK’s bustling seaside towns has declined despite a huge amount of visitors continuing to go year on year.

Blackpool, the home of Pleasure Beach Resort, is struggling to maintain overnight visitors, according to reports.

A tourism leader in Blackpool has revealed that its economy took a hit in 2024 despite there being an increase in visitors – all because the number of overnight stays declined.

The day trip is what Brits are opting for as Blackpool is not short on visitors, with the footfall on the famous Blackpool Promenade increasing year-on-year.

The Illuminations switch-on ceremony in 2024 saw around 80,000 people attend.

While it means a more affordable day out, it results in hotels being unable to make or maintain bookings.

Claire Smith, president of hoteliers group StayBlackpool, described 2024 as the “perfect storm”.

She claimed the challenges Brits experienced from the cost of living crisis to the bad weather influenced the lack of overnight holiday makers.

And Blackpool wasn’t the only place that felt the impact either; VisitBritain’s statistics for 2023 showed that cities have more day visitors than weekend ones.

VisitBritain revealed London had 174.5 million day visitors in 2023, but just 18.3 million overnighters.

Greater Manchester saw 43.9 million daytrippers, but only 5.5 million who came to spend the night.

Last year, The Telegraph even noted a rise in what they called the “extreme day tripper”.

The term describes people who go on the ultimate day trip, like jumping on a flight to Italy to sample their pizza for an afternoon before coming home that same evening.

The term ‘Victorian seaside break‘ was a term used for workers who swapped city life for the coast to enjoy a few days of entertainment and improve their health.

Over the last few years, we’ve fallen back in love with our country’s coastline, with some going for the purpose of a ‘Victorian seaside break’.

However, while turning up for the day to enjoy the sunshine and have fish and chips is fun for us it doesn’t do much for the economy.

To boost it, visitors need to stay, and spend money on local hospitality from hotels to restaurants.

VisitEngland’s CEO Patricia Yates says visitors will spend on average an extra £50 if they stay overnight[/caption]

VisitEngland’s CEO Patricia Yates has said: “Overnight holiday visitors [are] spending an average of £94 per night in England compared to £44 for day visits.

“We know how important it is for destinations to convert day-trippers into overnight stays, which also encourages visitors to discover more of an area and to go on and spend in local businesses including accommodation and hospitality.”

Interestingly, ABTA found that the average number of holidays taken per person has reached a new high.

The trend has become that Brits prefer quantity of quality, and are going on more day breaks or shorter trips to break up the year.
