After a long, drawn and unsuccessful saga to sign the rapid wing of the Athletic Club, Nico Williams, Barcelona have turned their attention to ACE-Favour Manchester United, Marcus Rashford.

England’s international seemed to have lost his way to the Dream Theater, first under Erik Ten Hag and then Ruben Amorim.

In no way for Rashford in United

So angry has seemed that the Portuguese in the lack of engagement of the 27-year-old has made it clear that the player does not have a future in CLUB.

As a result, Rashford It seemed to make a prayer ‘come and take me with the Catalan giants suggesting that he would like to play for BarcelonaBut by protesting your love for a club does not guarantee automatically that they will come calling.

Fortunately, it seems that his prayers have responded to both clubs coming in a deal.

A one -year loan with an opportunity to buy fits all parties, and in one year of the World Cup gives the player an ideal opportunity to rediscover his shape.

30 goals in 2022/23 for the 27-year-old

In 2022/23, he hit 30 goals in all competitions, which included 17 in the Premier League, so abandonment during the following season was extraordinary.

Eight goals in total (seven in the EPL, one in the Armed Forces) was a fierce return, though it was his body language and the lack of confidence that appeared just as disturbing.

Perhaps it should not be forgotten that he was not the only player suffering under ten hags in that season, given that before Amorim took over, the Dutch had supervised one of United’s worst seasons in the Premier League era.

This cannot be stuck in Rashford. In fact, he remained the best scorer for the club over the two seasons, which includes 22/23 and 2023/24.

Only captain, Bruno Fernandesapproached the production of England’s man’s goal, with every other player at least 15 goals behind.

A weight lifted in the cottage

Barcelona fans can ask why Rashford, of course, is a legitimate question.

Instead of baseing their opinion on two catastrophic seasons on one of the world’s most preserved clubs, supporters of Laliga’s dress can be better served by seeing wing wing points for Aston Villa.

It was as if a heavy weight had been lifted out of his shoulders.

Four goals and six assists in his 17 appearances for the club were a good return, and in a team such as Barcelona, who thrives on their wings to enter the opposition in Pace, Rashford must flourish.

It is clear that he is working on his physique and fitness as well, and this may be in his advantage as he prepares to sign his contract and join the pre-season tournament.

A massive point to prove to yourself and to others

Although not a last chance salon for him, Rashford has a massive point to prove himself and many others.

A shelter in Barcelona can only be what he needs, and with the carrot of one place in another World Cup team in England for sure for capture, is a convenient time for him.

For his new club, the deal is an intelligent. Still blocked with money thanks to an extraordinary distance of the previous administration, a lover plus option than the mandatory purchase essentially gives the opportunity to either sign Rashford permanently in a year or send it from where it came.

What happens next, then, is completely down the player himself.

The passage is not as bad as the statistics suggest

He will almost certainly need to be improved in his latest statistics of the passage. 82.1% in Aston Villa was acceptable if not fantastic, while a mid -1970s that appeared in United no doubt contributed to the narrative around him at the time.

However Yamal of petsS 78.9% and Raphinha79.7% are not even off-charts good. Where they both excel is in their dynamism and abilities, with the former one for which Rashford was once known in United.

The best standards all the time are likely to be expected by Hansi Flick if the club will be considered true contenders for the big prices in 2025/26.

Germany saw his team win the League and Cup double last season. But for a two -legged epic loss interceptBarca would have had the opportunity to face Paris Saint-Germain In the Champions League final, too.

Excellent shot and the rate of conversion

Comparison and objection that with the darkness of wrapping at Old Trafford is like being on the opposite sides of the polar of an argument. No wonder the red devils could not gather any notes of notes.

Of course, the goals are the coin of an attacker, and it is where Rashford really suffered late, especially when you put his goals side by side with the 18th Lamine and 34 of Raphinha from last season through the competitions, not to mention their 25 aids each in 24/25.

It may be very surprised to point out that 51.3% and 52.8% of their purpose from last season was far below 72.2% of Rashford – easily better of United – and suggests that, given the possibility, International England will ensure that any guard faces on the toes.

With a 21.4% conversion rate, again, again the best show in the Red Devils, it exceeds 7.7% of Lamine and 14.7% of Raphinha.

Switch

Let us not forget or that he can play as a central/fake striker nine if required and that the skill can be mana from paradise for movement in the months where games come thick and fast.

If he can hit his sweet place on arrival, there is simply no reason why, with the help of an arm around the shoulder by the manager, Rashford cannot become the player who everyone knows can be.

The question that has to be asked is how much he wants …
