Barcelona have shifted their focus to Marcus Rashford after failing to sign Athletic Club winger Nico Williams. The Manchester United forward has fallen out of favour at Old Trafford, first under Erik ten Hag and now with new manager Ruben Amorim, who has made it clear that Rashford no longer fits into his plans.
Rashford, 27, had hinted at wanting to play for Barcelona, and the two clubs have now reportedly agreed on a one-year loan deal with an option to buy.
The move could offer him the fresh start he needs, especially with the World Cup coming up next year.
After scoring 30 goals in the 2022/23 season, including 17 in the Premier League, his form dipped significantly last season with only eight goals across all competitions. More than just his numbers, Rashford’s body language and confidence were major concerns.
Now, with a big opportunity in Barcelona and the motivation of a World Cup spot, Rashford will be aiming to prove himself once again.
