Marcus Rashford has joined Barcelona on a season-long loan from Manchester United. The 27-year-old forward called the move a fresh start and said Barcelona feels like home.

Barcelona will pay his wages this season, and the deal includes a �?0 million option to make the move permanent next summer. Rashford agreed to a pay cut to seal the transfer.

He pointed to manager Hansi Flick as a big reason behind his decision. Rashford liked how the coach led a young squad to success and came into preseason with the same energy.

He also shared that he tried to join Barcelona in January but ended up at Aston Villa instead. There, he scored twice in 10 matches and said the experience helped him feel sharper and more confident.

Barcelona believe Rashford’s pace, finishing, and ability to play across the front line will strengthen their attack. His contract was signed and announced on Wednesday.
