Manchester United loanee Marcus Rashford has revealed that he previously held talks with Barcelona about joining them, but a move failed to materialise.

Rashford enjoying resurgence at Barcelona

After spending the latter half of the 2024/25 campaign out on loan at Aston Villa, who declined the chance to make Rashford’s stay a permanent one, United made Rashford available for transfer during the summer window.

Rashford had several suitors lining up for his signature but he made it clear that his wish was to join Barcelona.

He finally got his dream switch and so far, it looks to have been the right decision. A regular under Hansi Flick, Rashford has registered an impressive five goals and six assists in 12 appearances across all competitions.

The England international scored a sensational brace earlier this week to help the Blaugrana to a dominant 6-1 Champions League victory over Olympiacos.

There have been suggestions that Barcelona have already decided they want to retain Rashford permanently, but a recent report covered by The Peoples Person claimed that the club are intent on biding their time and assessing the situation at the end of the campaign.
