England winger Marcus Rashford has said he is enjoying his time at Barcelona as the Catalan club hold an option to make his move permanent for £28 million, a reduced fee compared with the £40 million United would demand from other potential buyers.
Despite being under contract at Old Trafford until 2028, Rashford appears to have no future with the club while Ruben Amorim remains in charge.
According to BBC Sports on Friday, the 27-year-old’s contract with United runs to 2028.
“I’m enjoying this football club, and I think for anybody who loves football, Barcelona is one of the key clubs in the history of the game. For a player, it is an honor. “When asked if he wanted to stay in Spain, he replied, “For sure, he told ESPN.
Rashford spent the second half of last season at Aston Villa, where his career was revived under Unai Emery.
He took his goals tally to five in 12 games for Barcelona thanks to a double against Olympiakos in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Rashford, who is set to play in his first El Clásico against Real Madrid this weekend, believes he is benefiting from a change of scenery.
“People forget this, but 23 years of my life was with Manchester United. So sometimes you just need a change. I think maybe this is the case with me, and I’m enjoying everything,” he said.
