Rashford on the day he was introduced as a Barcelona player. |
The somewhat enthusiastic attitude of the young Argentine talent was met with criticism from many “Red Devils” fans. They thought that Garnacho should not be too enthusiastic about the deal.
Rashford's move from Old Trafford caps a turbulent period. After being dropped from the squad by manager Ruben Amorim for poor form and training, Rashford was dropped for the Manchester derby in December and did not feature again for the rest of the season.
He had to join Aston Villa on loan in the second phase, regained his form and was recalled to the England team, but was still not used by coach Amorim.
When the transfer window opened, Barcelona quickly approached and agreed a loan deal for Rashford until the end of the season, with an option to buy for £30.3 million. Notably, the La Liga champions will have to pay €5 million if they do not buy him outright, similar to Jadon Sancho's previous deal with Chelsea. The entire salary - which has been reduced by 25% after Rashford re-signed with Man United - will be paid by Barca.
Rashford fulfilled his dream of playing for Barcelona. |
On the day of his official unveiling, Rashford posted an emotional message on social media. However, the appearance of a comment from Garnacho - who was also on the "elimination list" along with Antony, Sancho and Malacia - overshadowed this moment.
Garnacho's brief but meaningful comment made many people wonder: are there internal rifts within Man United that are difficult to mend?
Before that, Rashford flew to Spain, met with coach Hansi Flick and sporting director Deco to complete the medical examination. Barca confirmed the deal with the announcement: "FC Barcelona and Manchester United have reached an agreement to loan Marcus Rashford until June 30, 2026, with an option to buy."
Rashford is still awaiting official registration, but is expected to participate in Barca's Asian tour, with matches against Vissel Kobe (Japan), Daegu FC and FC Seoul (South Korea). This deal has opened a new chapter for Rashford, but also raised big questions about the internal situation at Old Trafford, where Ruben Amorim is heavily cleansing to rebuild the squad.
