They gave me a new style — Rashford explains why he will do well at Barcelona
Marcus Rashford has promised Barcelona fans that they have yet to see his best, stating that joining the club has enriched him with newfound energy, which will propel him to new heights.
Rashford joined the Blaugrana this summer on a loan deal with an option to buy. He has settled nicely at the club, with eight goal contributions in ten matches, per Transfermarkt.
What Rashford said
While Rashford blamed the inconsistent environment at Manchester United for his career struggles, he credited Barcelona for invigorating him.
“Joining Barca has given me new energy, a new style, and a new country to explore," he said, per Tribuna.
“I feel the team fits me perfectly, and I can help them a lot. It’s a great step and I’m optimistic about the future.
“I’m in a good place, but I know I haven’t reached my full potential. After a tough season, I needed that reset to find my best version again.”
Barcelona have a €40 million purchase option for Rashford, and if he continues his current vein of form, the Blaugrana would have to sign him permanently.
The 27-year-old has already expressed the desire to have a long career in Catalonia, and he knows he has to maintain a high performance level to tempt Barcelona to spend, given their financial woes.
