Manchester United officially announces the transfer of a young talent, initiating a new transfer model! Rashford bids farewell to Barcelona and confirms he will stay.

On Thursday, Manchester United officially announced that academy defender Tyler Frederickson has transferred to Swiss Super League side Lausanne Sport, signing a three-year contract. Frederickson will wear the number 3 jersey in the Swiss league. His United teammate Sekou Kone is also at the club, having been loaned again to the same team.

Frederickson was close to joining Scottish Premiership side Celtic in the January winter transfer window, but unfortunately suffered an injury. He returned to Manchester United's first-team training earlier this month, but due to the impending transfer, he missed the team's first two pre-season matches.

The 21-year-old Frederickson has made four appearances for Manchester United's first team, but has not started since their shock defeat to League Two side Grimsby Town in the second round of the English League Cup last season. It is understood that Manchester United received almost no transfer fee for this deal, but included a high percentage sell-on clause and a buy-back option.

In Manchester United's defense, Frederickson was unlikely to get opportunities, and he wanted regular playing time to further his development. The young defender has shown good potential; in his debut against Wolves, his performance, especially his ball control, earned high praise from Ruben Amorim.

Unfortunately, Frederickson's development at Manchester United stagnated; two injuries ruined his chances of being loaned to Celtic and Huddersfield. Now, he has fully recovered, but needs weekly match experience to progress further. Joining Sir Jim Ratcliffe's INEOS satellite club helps achieve this goal.

Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano explained: "Frederickson leaves Manchester United and permanently joins Lausanne Sport, so his ownership remains under the control of the INEOS group."

Manchester United will hope that Frederickson performs well, so that the club can have the opportunity to earn more income in the future. If this model succeeds, more Red Devils academy youngsters may join Lausanne Sport in the future to gain value and appreciation.

All income from academy players is considered pure profit, so the success or failure of selling players in this regard is crucial for finances. Manchester United had hoped to sell academy graduate and England international Marcus Rashford in the summer window to further revamp the attack, but unfortunately, the 28-year-old is now expected to stay at the club.

Rashford issued a statement on social media officially bidding farewell to Barcelona, declaring that the possibility of him moving to Camp Nou no longer exists. Other clubs that Rashford was eager to join, such as Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain, have no interest in him, so the likelihood of him staying at Manchester United is increasing, close to 100%.

Rashford said affectionately in his statement: "I am very grateful to everyone at Barcelona for making my time here so wonderful and unforgettable. I cherish every moment here and will forever treasure these precious memories. I wish the club and all the fans the best of luck and great success this season. Visca Barça!"

The statement from the Manchester United star received a response from Barcelona's official account, which commented: "Thank you, Rash. You will always be one of us." And Rashford replied excitedly: "One day I will come back, support the guys."

According to the schedule, next week is the last week of Rashford's post-World Cup holiday, after which he will return to Carrington and, for the first time in a while, join the team's final stage of summer training. Former teammates and head coach Carrick have prepared for Rashford's return and stay. The Carrington and Old Trafford dressing rooms have not had a spot reserved for Rashford for over a year, but now they have to make room, and his new jersey number also needs to be decided.
