Overview

• Rashford completed a season-long loan from Manchester United to FC Barcelona with an option to buy for around £26 million and on reduced wages.
• He departed with his new teammates for Barcelona’s Asia preseason tour in Japan and South Korea and impressed in his first training session under Hansi Flick.
• Childhood sweetheart Lucia Loi was present at his Camp Nou unveiling and will remain in Spain to provide a calming influence and help him adapt off the pitch.
• The move follows his exclusion from Manchester United’s plans under Ruben Amorim and a productive loan spell at Aston Villa that did not lead to a permanent transfer.
• Rashford said he feels “at home” at Barcelona and is determined to rediscover the form that earned him a place in the England squad.
