Reports suggest the move of Marcus Rashford to Barcelona is finally paying off, with Man United now watching closely.
United loanee Rashford back to his best at Barcelona
Marcus Rashford has the appearance of a guy totally inspired after moving to Barcelona for a loan from Manchester United this summer. The English forward was starting to lose his charm and not really impressing Ruben Amorim in Manchester, but he has returned to his best under Hansi Flick.
Few fans had no expectations of Rashford taking La Liga by storm following a short loan to Aston Villa. Eight goal contributions in just seven matches say it all. Rashford is not just fitting in, he’s thriving.
The Catalan fans has already taken to him, chanting his name and praising his relentless runs and clinical finishing. Teammates have been full of praise too, calling him a “game-changer” in training sessions. What this really means is that Rashford has finally found an environment that lets him play with freedom and purpose. This is something that felt missing in Manchester over the past year.

Utd watching from afar
Back in England, the talk around Old Trafford is whether Man Utd made a mistake letting Rashford go, even temporarily. Amorim’s system never quite suited him, but seeing him shine in Spain must sting a little for Man Utd fans. Flick, meanwhile, has handled him perfectly. He is pushing him to play wide, cut inside, and attack with instinct.
After his brace against Newcastle in the UCL, Flick said the key was “confidence,” and it shows. Rashford looks fearless again, sharp in movement, and hungry for goals.
Author’s Opinion:
Rashford’s rise isn’t luck, it’s a sign that belief and good coaching can revive any player. If this form continues, Man Utd might soon regret letting their star slip away.
