Marcus Rashford is set to embrace a fresh start at Barcelona after sealing a loan deal from Manchester United until June 30, 2026, with an option for a future purchase. The English forward, who recently experienced a change of pace with a loan spell at Aston Villa and found himself out of favor under coach Ruben Amorim, now says his new club truly "feels like home."
The deal sees Barcelona taking on around 75% of Rashford's £325,000-a-week wage, with the player forgoing the remainder. Expressing his excitement, he added, "I feel like my choice was easy, it's a family club, something I'm used to from my past. It feels like home so I feel like I've made the right decision."
Back on a familiar pitch, Rashford is set to wear the iconic number 14 jersey—previously donned by legends like Thierry Henry—symbolizing both heritage and ambition. He remains grateful for his history with Manchester United, acknowledging the club's role in shaping his career, yet is fully focused on helping Barcelona add more trophies to their legacy.
This move marks a pivotal step in Rashford's journey, as he aims to channel his passion and skills into a winning campaign at one of Spain's most storied clubs. ⚽🔥
