While Marcus Rashford will not continue his adventure at FC Barcelona after his loan, the English striker leaves Catalonia after a particularly successful experience. Crowned Spanish champion with the Blaugranas, he also had a good season on an individual level, with 14 goals and 11 assists in 26 starts. Taking advantage of Raphinha’s long absence on the left side of the attack, Rashford was able to gain the trust of the staff and play a major role in Barça’s performance. Despite this impact, the Catalan club ultimately decided not to exercise the option to keep the England international, preferring to focus on other offensive profiles like Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi. Rashford also confirmed his departure through a message published on Instagramin which he thanked Barça for this step.
For his part, Hansi Flick also returned to the striker’s situation after the draw (2-2) in a friendly against Birmingham, confirming the end of his time in Catalonia. “Sometimes we don’t always know what happens to loaned players”first explained the former Bayenr coach, before adding: “Our situation is not easy either, but I really enjoyed working with him, he is a fantastic player, a fantastic person. » Finally, Hansi Flick admitted that he was not against keeping the Manchester United player, and that all of Barça would regret it: “I think the team misses him too, I will miss him, but that’s life. » The person concerned will be able to console themselves with these pretty words.
