Overview
- Rashford has produced seven goals and 11 assists in 24 appearances for Barcelona on loan, form that earned him an England recall.
- His year‑end Instagram montage prominently featured Barcelona and omitted Manchester United, with one Aston Villa image of his penalty against Manchester City.
- Barcelona hold a reported non‑obligatory option of about £26m (€30m), with reports suggesting the club may weigh that against a marquee striker pursuit given Robert Lewandowski’s age.
- Hansi Flick lauded Rashford’s mentality and professionalism after recent bench starts, with the forward supplying a substitute assist in the Champions League.
- A Mirror report states Manchester United have no recall clause for this season and that there is no penalty fee if Barcelona do not trigger a permanent move.
