• The 27-year-old volleyed home against Sevilla in a 4-1 defeat, extending his streak to seven straight matches with a goal contribution.
• He has three goals and five assists in 10 appearances on loan from Manchester United this season across all competitions.
• Local reporting says Barcelona will try to renegotiate the non-mandatory option or pursue another loan to comply with La Liga wage rules.
• Sporting director Deco says the club is pleased with Rashford’s impact, with any permanent decision deferred until later in the season.
