(Dan Tri Newspaper) - Striker Marcus Rashford has joined Barcelona on a one-year loan deal, after failing to gain the trust of manager Ruben Amorim at Man Utd.

Speaking at his transfer unveiling, Rashford said: "I always try to be decisive, fast-paced and dynamic. I like beautiful football."

I've always loved watching Barcelona play since I was a child, like most Barcelona fans. Playing here would be a huge joy for me. I'm very excited. This is everyone's dream club; they win big prizes. What the club represents means a lot to me.

I feel at home here, and that's a big reason I decided to come to Barcelona because it's a place where my family is close and it's a good place for good players to showcase their skills."

After Rashford officially joined Barcelona, ​​he is expected to join the Nou Camp team on their pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea (playing Seoul on July 31st and Daegu on August 4th).
