Spanish club FC Barcelona have announced the arrival of Marcus Rashford from English side, Manchester United.
“FC Barcelona and Manchester United have reached an agreement for the loan of the player Marcus Rashford until 30 June 2026. The agreement also establishes an option to buy the English forward,” announced the Spaniards.
Rashford put pen to paper on Wednesday in the presence of Barcelona president, Joan Laporta and other Board members.
Born in Manchester, the new Barça forward started his career at local club Fletcher Moss Rangers before being picked up by Manchester United at the age of seven.
After making his way through the youth teams, Rashford made his debut for the first team at the age of 18 in February 2016.
Still at the age of 18 years, he made his debut for England, scoring in a friendly against Australia to become the youngest player ever to score on his first appearance for the national side. In 2016 he also became England’s youngest ever player at the European Championships.
After nine and a half seasons with the first team, Rashford spent the second half of the 2024/25 campaign on loan at fellow Premier League side Aston Villa. Under Spanish coach Unai Emery the forward made 17 appearances, scoring four goals and creating five assists.
He will don the number 15 shirt at Barcelona.
