Rashford revealed that it is his dream to play for Barcelona and he is eager to stay in the team as long as possible: "I am learning a lot of things, it is a new style of football, but it makes me a better player. To be honest, it is an amazing experience. I have always admired Barcelona a lot. , Every player of my age has seen them play, it’s amazing football.”

Barcelona coach Flick was full of praise for Rashford’s performance and revealed the inside story of his introduction: “He was an important player when we discussed what the team needed before the season. We feel we need players like him. When we had the opportunity (to sign him), I said we have to do it. He's an outstanding player. "

The club's sports director Deco also confirmed the details of the transaction. He said: "If we don't sign him, there are no punitive clauses in the loan agreement. We do have an option to buy him out permanently if we want to. It's too early to talk about a decision for next season; the important thing is that we are happy with him. "

Currently, Barcelona has the clause to buy out Rashford from Manchester United for 26 million pounds next summer.
