Pogba's reaction when Rashford came to Barca

Paul Pogba could not hide his surprise and joy when he heard the news that his former teammate was about to join Barcelona.

Marcus Rashford is close to moving to Barcelona.

In a conversation with streamer Speed, Pogba expressed excitement and regret when Marcus Rashford moved to Barcelona in the summer transfer window of 2025: "That (Rashford to Barca - PV) was crazy. Manchester United lost a great player! On the contrary, it was great for Barcelona".

Pogba, who played alongside Marcus Rashford at Manchester United from 2016 to 2022, also added that he was glad his former teammate had found a new home: "I'm very happy for him. Rashford is a very talented player."

While Pogba expressed his support for Rashford, Speed caused controversy when he stated: "If I were the coach of Barcelona, I wouldn't even put Marcus Rashford on the bench, because he's not capable of competing with other players."

Pogba and Speed's statements have sparked controversy on social media. Barcelona fans believe that despite Rashford's decline at MU, he still brings the necessary explosiveness and experience to the Spanish club.

Sport reported that the English striker has flown to Barcelona, after the deal was almost completed. Rashford agreed to take a 25% pay cut (about 81,250 pounds out of a total of 325,000 pounds) to play for the Catalan club.

Barcelona are expected to pay Rashford's full wages during the loan spell, which is around £243,000 a week. Rashford's pay cut will also allow Barcelona to sign him for La Liga. Barcelona have an option to buy Rashford for £40m.
