If the Spanish top flight were to start today, Hansi Flick would be unable to call upon Rashford’s services. As things stand, the Manchester United loanee is not registered as a Barcelona player, much like fellow summer recruit Joan García and Wojciech Szczęsny, who signed a new contract.

Jules Kounde has revealed his first impressions of Marcus Rashford after his new deal was almost blocked by the summer addition. Rashford has joined Barcelona from Manchester United on a season-long loan. The Catalan giants have the option to make the move a permanent transfer for £30 million in 2026.

Marcus Rashford made his second appearance in a Barcelona shirt on Thursday as he featured in their demolition of South Korean side FC Seoul. The Englishman, who emerged from the bench once more to make his debut against Vissel Kobe a few days prior, was omitted from the starting lineup once again for the game at Seoul World Cup Stadium.
