Manchester United outcast Marcus Rashford has completed a season-long loan switch to Barcelona.

The 27-year-old academy product has not added to his 426 first-team appearances for the Red Devils since being hauled off in a Europa League match away to Viktoria Plzen on December 12.

Rashford ended last season on loan at Aston Villa and is among five wantaway players that have been training away from Ruben Amorim’s first-team squad since pre-season began, as they explored their options in the transfer market.

The England international has now wrapped up the move he had hoped for, joining Barcelona on loan for the 2025/26 season.

The LaLiga champions confirmed that they have an option to make the deal permanent.
