Marcus Rashford leaves Barcelona as club decline 40 million option

Marcus Rashford’s Barcelona spell ended this afternoon after the club chose not to activate the 40 million purchase option. According to Superdeporte, the 28-year-old now returns to Manchester United under Michael Carrick.

Used regularly by Hansi Flick, the winger was a consistent pick throughout his loan.

He played 49 matches this season, contributing 14 goals and 14 assists.

Rashford also featured in Barcelona’s triumphs in the league and the Spanish Super Cup.

With the arrivals of his compatriot Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi for the wide roles, a permanent stay at Camp Nou was ruled out. He will either rejoin United’s squad or seek a move outside the Premier League.
