The 31-year-old joined Barcelona from Sevilla in 2014 and has helped the Spanish giants to four La Liga titles and a Champions League triumph. It has been claimed that the Catalan club will look to sell the midfielder this summer in an attempt to help finance moves for Matthijs de Ligt and Antoine Griezmann. Barca, it is believed, are holding out for a fee of around £50million for the midfielder and United are also aware of Rakitic's wage demands.
