Marcus Rashford endures journey from hell as Man Utd star's transfer to Barcelona is almost scuppered by OASIS
MARCUS RASHFORD endured a journey from hell today - after his trip to Barcelona was almost scuppered by Oasis. The Manchester United striker had hoped to travel by private jet from Manchester airport on Sunday to Spain ahead of a medical today. 3 3 3 But officials were unable to give him a slot as the Manchester City -loving brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher had taken up all the space. Liam is believed to have had a private jet on standby at the airport to take him to his home in the south of France after the band's final gig at Manchester's Heaton Park. Rashford, 27, and his team of advisors were instead forced to drive 80 miles to East Midlands airport instead. The player was then delayed an hour before boarding a private jet which was due to land shortly after 8pm on Sunday. He is due to undergo a medical on Monday and all being well, seal a season-long loan deal. A source said: 'Marcus' travel plans were disrupted so it was all a bit stressful but he would have walked to Barcelona to sign for them. 'Noel and Liam can have a laugh that they accidentally put a spanner in the works.' The private terminal at Manchester airport is also understood to be busy with Oasis fans from around the world jetting in to enjoy the gigs. The Sun told in February while Rashford was on loan at Aston Villa how his No 1 target if he was to leave Old Trafford was the Catalan giants. His team agreed a deal on Thursday that suited both United and Barcelona given the forward would not feature again for United under manager Ruben Amorin. Barca will cover 100 per cent of Rashford's £325,000-a-week wages to bring the forward to LaLiga and also have an option to buy. The deal does not allow United to recall the striker. United will save £15million in wages, which would be vital funds for Amorim to overhaul his squad. Rashford hopes to travel with Barcelona when the Spanish club departs this week for its pre-season tour of Asia, which begins next Sunday. The England international spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa after a move to Spain became too complicated in the January window. He has remained steadfast that he wanted to move to a club playing Champions League football. Should the move go to plan and Rashford seal a permanent move next summer, it would end his 20-year association with United. The United academy product scored 138 goals since his debut in 2015 and has made 426 appearances for the club, the last of which came against Viktoria Plzen in December.

LSE plots 24-hour trading to revive interest in shares
Shares in UK-listed companies could be traded 24 hours a day under radical plans from the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) to tap into booming demand from night owl traders. The LSEG, which owns the flagship London stock market, is accelerating plans to launch a 24-hour trading platform to boost the appeal of the gloomy UK market and encourage overseas investors and younger traders to buy British shares. Changing trading patterns in the US, where transactions are increasingly done outside of working hours by a new generation of Gen Z retail investors on smartphone apps, is leaving traditional bourses exposed. Cryptocurrency markets, such as Bitcoin trading, already trade around the clock and more people trade shares in the small hours on platforms like Robinhood, making traditional market hours increasingly anachronistic. London-listed shares currently only trade between 8am and 4pm. The LSEG declined to comment on the plan, first reported by the Financial Times, but chief executive David Schwimmer has made no secret of his desire to boost the London market. Mr Schwimmer has transformed LSEG into a data and technology giant to rival Bloomberg following a $27bn (£21bn) takeover of Refinitiv, with the stock exchange now accounting for just 3pc of the group's revenues. Britain's stock market is facing a crisis after shrinking trading volumes and a dearth of new listing. Recent tax raids by the Government and tariffs woes have also dented companies. According to figures released by EY on Monday, UK-listed companies issued 59 profit warnings during the second quarter of 2025, a 20pc rise compared to the same period last year. A shift to 24-hour trading would mirror strides in the US where so-called 'dark pools' – which are private exchanges where buyers and sellers meet in secret – have become increasingly popular ways to trade shares overnight. Some dark pools, such as Blue Ocean, allow for shares to be traded once US markets close and last year the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved a licence for a new Bermuda-based trading platform 24X to offer out-of-hours trading. Mainstream US stock exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) have sought to keep pace with the developments by extending trading hours. The NYSE asked the SEC for permission to extend its trading window outside of its traditional 9:30pm to 4pm time earlier this year. However any move to extend trading hours is likely to face fierce criticism from conventional fund managers. They use the closing price of shares to set the value of their funds, with trillions of pounds dependent on the closing price. Round-the-clock trading would make setting prices even more difficult, while fund managers are likely to resist moves to monitor the market 24/7.
