With Marcus Rashford? I have to be honest here I did not see this coming in a zillion years. I mean. The guy is decent but if you look at our team now we have each and every guy willing to run his heart out despite size/physical difference. And Rashford to me has never been a hard worker. Maybe it changed during his time away from Manchester United but...
Then again I didn't like Lewandowski joining so maybe I am not seeing things the way the manager is. GL to us because Real Madrid are not going to be weaker than last season
What a random transfer, this reminded me when Footbal Manager start to do their random transfer generator things. He played 10 games in Aston Villa and was injured in the last 5 or 6 games. Honestly dont see why they need a striker like him??
Barcelona is one of the biggest clubs in Spain. Therefore, Barcelona should be able to recruit the best players in the world, especially young players with great potential. However, due to their current financial situation, the club is still struggling to recruit top players with high transfer fees. And even when they manage to recruit top players with high transfer fees, this causes problems, as was the case with Dani Olmo.
However, I believe Barcelona has taken a wise approach by not immediately opting to sign Rashford permanently but instead loaning him for one season.
In the past two seasons, Marcus Rashford has indeed experienced a decline and inconsistent performances, but what he demonstrated in the 2022/23 season with 28 goals and 8 assists, I think it is not too much to say that he is one of the best strikers Manchester United has. With his move to Barcelona, there is great hope that he will return to his best form, and given his young age, I believe this is still achievable.
