‘Sometimes You Need a Change’ - Marcus Rashford Confirms he Wants Permanent Barcelona Move

Marcus Rashford has confirmed his desire to make his loan move at Barcelona permanent following a tough few years at Man United.

The 27-year-old secured a loan move to Hansi Flick’s side this summer, with the deal said to have a 330 million option to buy at the end of the season.

Rashford has impressed since heading to the Camp Nou, scoring five goals and providing four assists in his 12 games across all competitions.

“Oh yeah, for sure,” Rashford told ESPN on wanting to stay at the Catalan club. “I’m enjoying this football club and I think for anybody who loves football, Barcelona is one of the key clubs in the history of the game. For a player is an honour.”

He spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa after falling out with Ruben Amorim, and the England international is hoping to put that chapter behind him.

“It was so many years in one place,” Rashford said. “People forget this, but 24 years, 23 years of my life was with Manchester United. So sometimes you just need a change. I think maybe this is the case with me and yeah, I’m enjoying everything.”
