Marcus Rashford has swapped Manchester rain for Catalan sunshine 🌞 after sealing a surprise loan move to Barcelona! The 27-year-old forward, who fell out of favor at Manchester United, described his new club as "a family" that already "feels like home" during his unveiling on Wednesday.
Barca confirmed the deal includes a future purchase option, with reports suggesting they’ll cover 75% of his £325k-a-week wages. Rashford – who rocked the iconic No.14 shirt once worn by Thierry Henry during his presentation – told fans: "This is my next chapter. I’m here to help write more history." 🏆
The England international made clear there’s no bad blood with United, calling his boyhood club "an important part of my life." But after being sidelined by coach Ruben Amorim and spending last season on loan at Aston Villa, Rashford appears ready for his Spanish renaissance 💫.
"When you see Camp Nou, when you feel the passion here… how could you say no?" he grinned, already channeling main-character energy for his new football arc. Kickoff can’t come soon enough! ⏳
