I think Rashford is not a Barcelona quality player. Barcelona management wanted to give him a chance but I think this chance will be wasted and I don't think they will buy him.
There are players in Barcelona’s bench and academy who are better than Rashford and I think it would’ve made more sense to give those players the opportunity instead.
I hope the Rashford transfer is the right decision for Barcelona.

If you think about it, it's quite impossible for Barcelona to buy him if he doesn't show good performance. His sales are still quite high for Barcelona and he also has a high salary, while Barcelona doesn't have stable finances. So I think Barcelona management is only borrowing him for this season as a substitute option and Barcelona has no real intention of buying him.
And I think he will also only get limited playing time, considering that Barcelona already has capable main players he will probably be used when Barcelona player are injured.

This is like a trial run for Rashford at Barcelona. If Rashford performs well and contributes significantly to the team, Barcelona will certainly sign him, regardless of his price tag and salary. Now, Barcelona wants to try him out first, and I think this move benefits everyone.
In terms of individual quality, Rashford isn't bad, but he hasn't developed at Manchester United. Playing for Barcelona next season remains a big question mark, although it won't be easy for Rashford, as he faces a lot of competition for a starting spot.
