They know Flick has been very satisfied with the 28-year-old\u2019s output this season, after scoring 14 goals and delivering 14 assists in 49 games in all competitions. The manager is open to Rashford staying at the club, but other decision-makers in the club have more doubts.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Senior executives at Barca admit that with the arrival of Gordon, the chances for Rashford to stay are \u201cmore complicated\u201d.
