WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>This will be Rashford's second consecutive loan spell after he spent the second half of the 2024-25 campaign at Aston Villa. Barcelona has always been the winger's preferred destination ever since he lost his place at United and fell out of favour under manager Ruben Amorim.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Barca boss Flick has reportedly decided to play Rashford on the left side of his attack, despite his ability to operate as a striker, according to <a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/barca-ven-rashford-9-119893948" target="_blank"><em>Sport</em></a>. Flick has Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres in the central role, which means that the United outcast will predominantly operate from the left flank unless required.</p>
