MD newspaper said that Barca's leaders, director Deco and head coach Hansi Flick, determined that signing Rashford from MU was a risky "gamble" but they hoped for good things to come from this deal.

This source emphasized that despite placing faith in the English striker, Barca's internal team cannot avoid being worried about the surrounding reality.

MD pointed out that MU is fed up with Rashford not because he is not compatible with Ruben Amorim but also because of his complicated life off the field and the most worrying problem: his physical condition.

Despite only being 27, Rashford has been plagued by muscular problems, with hamstring injuries being the most common. This has been a clear reflection of his recent season, with Rashford missing 15 games in all competitions for Manchester United and Aston Villa due to various injuries.

Barca are well aware of Rashford's injury history but are willing to take the risk, as the deal does not have much financial impact. Furthermore, Hansi Flick sees Rashford as useful even when only at 80% of his form.

And the La Liga champions are certain that, once the striker is fully fit, he can make a difference for Barca. In the worst case, they will return Rashford to United without any problems in a one-season loan deal (Barca will pay the full €14m salary plus bonuses), with an option to buy next year.

But that belief is considered fragile because according to news from the English Football Association, Rashford came to Barca for a medical check-up with some 'discomfort' in his body. Barca will have to prepare a separate training plan for him.

Barca begin their Asian tour on Thursday and it looks like Rashford is unlikely to be fit to play. Let's wait and see how the striker performs at Barca.
