Marcus Rashford has admitted he is loving life at Barcelona and hopes his spell with the Spanish giants does not end any time soon, after lifting his first trophy in Blaugrana colours.
The England forward, currently on loan from Manchester United, has settled quickly in Spain and played his part as Barcelona added silverware this season. Speaking after the celebrations, Rashford made it clear how he feels about the move and about the growing talk of a return to Old Trafford.
“I hope not!” Rashford said when asked about the possibility of going back to United soon, before stressing how happy he is in Barcelona and how much he has enjoyed his first taste of success with the club.
Rashford’s comments come at a time when questions have been raised about his long-term future, with his United situation still being debated back in England. The uncertainty has only increased following the confirmed exit of Ruben Amorim, which has led to more discussion around what happens next for a number of players linked to the club.
For now, Rashford insists his focus is on Barcelona. He described the trophy win as a special moment and pointed to the atmosphere around the club, his team-mates and the fans as key reasons he has embraced the challenge of playing abroad.
While the wider debate about his next step continues, Rashford’s message was straightforward: he feels at home in Barcelona, he is enjoying his football, and he would prefer to keep that going rather than rush back into another change.
