Official announcement of Rashford's recruitment on Barcelona's homepage
Barcelona's home page reported that Marcus Rashford will not receive the number 19 shirt as expected, but instead, he will wear the number 14 shirt, which is also the number he used in the 2015-2016 season when playing for the Man United U21 team. The last player to use the number 14 shirt at Barcelona was Pablo Torre, the midfielder who just joined Mallorca in the summer transfer window this year.
Previously, many famous Barca players wore the number 14 shirt, including: Thierry Henry, Philippe Coutinho, Javier Mascherano, Hristo Stoichkov, Ronald Koeman, Michael Laudrup, Ernesto Valverde...
Marcus Rashford: "Coming to Barça is everything I dreamed of"
On his first day wearing the "La Blaugrana" shirt, the English striker expressed his excitement and determination for this special opportunity in his career. "Barcelona is a place where dreams come true. Here, good players can enjoy football, and I really love football. I want to help and win titles. One of the reasons I came here is the motivation and ambition to become a better player."

After completing the procedures to join Barcelona, Rashford will start training with the whole team to prepare for the Asian tour. According to the schedule, Barcelona will face Vissel Kobe (July 27, in Japan) and Seoul (July 31), Daegu (August 4) in Korea.
Desire to prove oneself
Rashford is eager to prove himself after a turbulent 2024-2025 season. Due to a conflict with coach Ruben Amorim, the 27-year-old striker was dropped from Man United's squad and had to go to Aston Villa on loan in January 2025. In total, in the two colors of Man United and Aston Villa last season, Rashford scored 11 goals and 9 assists in 41 matches.

British experts expect Marcus Rashford to play regularly, becoming a quality addition and a reliable reserve option for Barcelona's attack in the 2025-2026 season.
That is the basis for the England coaching staff, headed by head coach Thomas Tuchel, to continue to put their trust in the 27-year-old striker in upcoming international tournaments, including the ongoing Euro 2026 qualifiers.
