According to Spanish media, Marcus Rashford was finally rescued from the "nightmare" called Old Trafford, the place that nurtured and helped him become famous but also coldly threatened to destroy the future of the star trained by Man United.
Barcelona have successfully loaned Marcus Rashford for a season. If all goes well, the two sides will discuss a permanent transfer of the 27-year-old striker.
Marcus Rashford will play for Barcelona for 1 season
Coach Hansi Flick is a big fan of Marcus Rashford's playing style and believes the English striker could quickly integrate into last season's La Liga champions.
Rashford's ability to play well on the left flank and move up as a centre-forward is exactly the type of player Barcelona are looking for in their attack, especially after the Catalans spent so much time pursuing Nico Williams and Luis Diaz.
Rashford became famous at Man United but was abandoned by the team
According to Sport , a newspaper quite close to Barcelona, Rashford agreed to reduce 30% of his total income, enough for Barcelona to confidently accept paying his entire salary for a year without forcing Man United to "bear" a part.
This could be the key factor in making this loan deal successful, not to mention the purchase fee for Rashford of around 35 million euros, which is completely within the Catalan team's ability to pay.
Many former Man United stars believe that coach Amorim treated Rashford badly.
Man United initially offered a fee of 50 million euros but Barcelona said they paid all of Rashford's wages so the English partners needed to recalculate.
Man United agreed because it would save on wages, not to mention the possibility of selling Rashford to Barca for 35 million euros next year.
Of course, it should be stressed that the buyout clause in Rashford's deal is optional, so if Barcelona feel Rashford is not performing at his best next year, United will have to take him back.
Rashford has to play for a while at Aston Villa
Despite having 3 years left on his contract with the Old Trafford team, Rashford's future at Man United is almost over. He is no longer in coach Ruben Amorim's plans, even being asked to train separately, not participating in training and touring with the first team during the pre-season.
The Man United star is earning a salary of up to £325,000/week at Old Trafford. Many teams want Rashford's services but are really afraid of the large payment for a striker who has many problems with "attitude" as well as "professional behavior".

Accepting a 30% reduction in initial income is considered "very unlikely", as this would greatly affect the player's future contract value.
However, facing the possibility of not being able to play and being treated badly by Man United, Rashford felt he had to leave to save his own career. He also loves Barcelona and has always expressed his desire to play for this team since the conflict with coach Ruben Amorim in late 2024.
British press noted that Rashford followed the path of Gary Lineker 40 years ago.
Man United are working to finalise the terms before allowing Rashford to travel to Barcelona for a medical next week. Man United just played a friendly match to start the season with Leeds United in Stockholm (Sweden) and accepted a 0-0 draw to test new positions.
