Latest transfer news and rumours
Rashford wanted his future resolved by now
Marcus Rashford wanted his club future sorted out before he came to the World Cup, but is now fully focused on helping England to glory.
The 28-year-old is in domestic limbo after Barcelona opted not to trigger a ÂŁ26million transfer despite a successful loan campaign, with the Spanish club instead opting to sign England team-mate Anthony Gordon.
Rashford is currently due to return to parent club Manchester United for pre-season training post-World Cup.
All options are understood to be on the table at this stage and the forward said he would have liked his future to be resolved before joining up with Thomas Tuchelâs men at the start of June.
He has now parked it in order to concentrate on Englandâs pursuit of the World Cup
Asked whether being in the England camp was taking his mind off his future, he replied: âNo, itâs not why I enjoy my time here.
âMe, as a person, I live in the moment. I was very clear with everyone involved before the World Cup.
âI wanted it done before, and if not, then I wonât deal with it until after, because I want to fully be present in this moment.
âAt the same time, weâre fighting for something. I donât have energy to be putting into other things.â

Tottenham rule out Bergvall exit
Tottenham have told Lucas Bergvall that he will not be sold this summer.
Nottingham Forest were expected to pursue Lucas Bergvall following Eliott Andersonâs ÂŁ116million sale to Manchester City.
Bergvall is keen to leave Tottenham in search of more regular first-team minutes, and Spurs were said to value the player at at least ÂŁ45m.
But Sky Sports today report that Spurs will resist any offers for Bergvall, with Roberto De Zerbi keen to keep the player.
Will Forest look to test that resolve?

Arsenal plan new ÂŁ60m Bruno Guimaraes bid
Arsenalâs pursuit of Bruno Guimaraes does not appear to have been diminished by Newcastle team-mate Sandro Tonaliâs imminent ÂŁ100m transfer to rivals Tottenham.
Tonali could officially join Spurs as soon as today after the Italian international arrived from Milan on Thursday in order to undergo a medical following an agreement between the two clubs.
Newcastle seem unlikely to sell both Tonali and fellow midfielder - and captain - Guimaraes in the same summer window, having already seen Anthony Gordon leave for Barcelona, though The Sun claim that Arsenal have not given up hope when it comes to the Brazilian.
They say the Gunners still believe that a deal can be made and are set to return with an offer of around ÂŁ60m, having seen an initial approach for Guimaraes rebuffed last week.

Tottenham want ÂŁ80m Junior Kroupi
Tottenham want to make Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi their next blockbuster signing, with their spending spree showing no signs of slowing.
Roberto De Zerbi wants his new signings completed before pre-season, which starts next week.
Spurs face stiff competition from Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain for the 20-year-old, while Bournemouth are demanding more than ÂŁ80 million according to The Independent.
Tottenham are also monitoring AC Milan's Rafael Leao and Manchester City's Savinho.

Man Utd pull out of wonderkid deal
Manchester United have decided to pull out of the race to sign Mexican wonderkid Gilberto Mora.
The Daily Mirror claims that United monitored the 17-year-old for six months and continued scouting him during the World Cup, but have decided against entering a bidding war.
Manchester City, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona are all interested, while Mora's new Tijuana contract includes a ÂŁ20million release clause.

Tottenham to announce ÂŁ100m Tonali today?
Today could well be the day for Sandro Tonali and Tottenham.
It has been an incredible week on the transfer front for Spurs, who have agreed a deal with Newcastle for the in-demand Italy star said to be worth an initial ÂŁ92.5m plus a further ÂŁ7.5m in add-ons.
That is after having already beaten Manchester United to the signing of Portuguese midfielder Mateus Fernandes, who joined from rivals West Ham for ÂŁ85m on Wednesday.
Tonali flew in from Milan on Thursday in order to undergo a medical with Tottenham and confirmed the move during a brief interview with Sky in Italy that was conducted at the airport.
Presuming all went well with those medical tests, Tonali is expected to be confirmed as a Spurs player over the weekend.

Tottenham offered Leao as AC Milan set asking price
Tottenham have been offered the chance to sign Rafael Leao.
The Portuguese winger has decided to leave AC Milan, and La Gazzetta dello Sport report that several European giants are monitoring his situation this summer.
Barcelona and Manchester United have both made enquiries, with Milan are willing to consider offers worth around ÂŁ50million as they reshape their squad under new manager Ruben Amorim.
The 27-year-old is believed to favour a move to either the Premier League or La Liga, but has not been the subject of any firm bids yet.

Man City complete Arsenal hijack
Manchester City have successfully hijacking Arsenalâs move for Jeremy Monga.
Fabrizio Romano reports that City have agreements in place on both the club and player side for the Leicester wonderkid.
They will pay a fee of ÂŁ10m for the 16-year-old winger following crucial talks over his long-term role at the Etihad Stadium with new manager Enzo Maresca.
Arsenal had been locked in talks over Monga for weeks, but could not agree a fee for the highly-rated England youth talent who was also briefly linked with Brentford.

Man Utd talks for Summerville denied
Manchester United remain interested to sign Crysencio Summerville, but suggestions they have entered talks are not true.
Thatâs according to Fabrizio Romano, who has said: "United's interest in Summerville is not as advanced as some reports suggest. No talks have opened."
It follows reports that United had intensified their interest.
However, it is midfield Man Utd are focusing on rather than attack as it stands.

Chelsea won't give up on Xhaka
Sunderland expect Granit Xhaka to stay at the club after fresh talks with Chelsea, writes Dom Smith.
Standard Sport understands that the Black Cats consider Chelseaâs pursuit of Xhaka to be over and have reminded the Blues that their captain is not for sale.
While Sunderland felt Chelseaâs ÂŁ8million offer last week to buy the Swiss international was disrespectful and undervalued the player, Chelseaâs interest in the influential 33-year-old midfielder remains.
Xhaka is attracted by the proposition of playing under Alonso again. Sunderland insist, however, that he has now restated his commitment to the club.
Chelsea retain a certain amount of hope that the situation might be retrievable, even though Sunderland have maintained throughout that Xhaka is strictly not for sale.
