The reason Rashford failed at MU

Barcelona's sporting director, Deco, has confirmed that Marcus Rashford enjoys clearer football, without the burden of being the symbol that carried the team during his time at Manchester United.

Rashford is reviving his form at Barcelona.

Marcus Rashford quickly made his mark at Barcelona after joining on loan. The 28-year-old striker scored 6 goals in 18 games, adapted well to the playing style and received the trust of the club's leadership.

Sporting Director Deco said Barca followed Rashford closely from the start because they appreciated the Englishman's ability to play in all three positions in attack, along with his desire to seek a new challenge. "He is happy here," Deco shared. "Rashford is a great player. At MU, he had to take on the responsibility of a big star too early, while the team was in trouble for a long time. The demands on him were always very heavy."

According to Deco, the deal was only successful thanks to Rashford's patience. Barca was facing financial constraints at the time, but the English striker still waited because he wanted to play for the Catalan team. "He understood the situation and waited a long time. We are happy to have him," Deco said.

Barca's ability to buy Rashford outright for £26m depends on the club's finances, but Deco believes president Joan Laporta is getting the club back on track. "A smart player like Marcus doesn't come here just because he loves Barca, but because he wants to win titles," he said.

The deal is currently beneficial for both sides. Rashford regains his form and returns to the England squad ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Barca gains a versatile striker, reducing the workload on Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski in the La Liga title race.
