Marcus Rashford, however, stands to gain the most from his transfer from Old Trafford to Camp Nou on loan with a buyout option. He substitutes a team that won a domestic double and is one of the favourites to win the Champions League this season for one that placed 15th in the Premier League the previous season.
In an interview with Spanish influencer Javi Ruiz last month, he expressed his desire to play with Lamine Yamal. When Barcelona later attempted to sign Nico Williams of Athletic Club and then Luis Diaz of Liverpool, it appeared that he might not get the opportunity. Still, after those moves fell through, everything fell into place for him.
When he signed a five-year contract worth £325,000 per week in 2023 after an incredible season with 30 goals under Erik ten Hag, no one at Manchester United could have predicted it. His peak years were supposed to be enjoyed by his boyhood club.
