Marcus Rashford Vows Long-Term Commitment to Barcelona and Praises Coach Flick

Marcus Rashford wants to stay at Barcelona for a long time. He also enjoys working with coach Hansi Flick and feels confident under his guidance.

RASHFORD’S ARRIVAL AND FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Rashford joined Barcelona on loan from Manchester United for the 2025–26 season. The club can buy him permanently. He took a pay cut to fit into Barcelona’s budget and will earn €14 million this season with performance bonuses. Rashford’s role is crucial for Barcelona’s plans in LaLiga and the Champions League.

Rashford said, “I want to stay as long as possible at Barcelona. I have to focus on doing my job, helping the team in any way I can.”

THE IMPACT OF FLICK AND RASHFORD’S ROLE

Rashford praised Hansi Flick, saying working with him is a real pleasure. Rashford struggled for form at Manchester United and during his loan at Aston Villa, where he scored four goals and made six assists in 17 appearances.

Now, he aims to revive his career at Camp Nou. His arrival adds speed and versatility alongside Lamine Yamal and Raphinha. Barcelona hopes his experience and determination will strengthen their attack after missing targets like Nico Williams and Luis Díaz.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR BARCELONA AND RASHFORD

Barcelona start the La Liga season as defending champions. They are currently in 2nd place, two points behind leaders Real Madrid after four games, with 10 points from those matches. Their next match is against Getafe, who are level on points with Barça. Barcelona recently secured a significant 6-0 win over Valencia, contributing to their current standing.

For Rashford, the coming weeks are important as he adapts and tries to fit into Flick’s plans. If he performs well, Barcelona can sign him permanently next summer for €30 million. Rashford’s performances might be key as the club competes for league and Champions League titles.
