Recently, Marca talked about Rashford, who joined Barcelona on loan this season. They said that this experience is a challenge for Rashford, because almost no players who have been loaned to Barcelona in the past are left.

Rashford spent his entire career in the Premier League and was once considered the future leader of Manchester United. However, after a brilliant performance in the 2022/23 season (scoring 30 goals and sending 9 assists), he failed to continue to maintain his high level.

Manchester United continuously introduces forwards, making it difficult for Rashford to obtain stable playing time and confidence. In the second half of last season, he was loaned to Aston Villa, contributing 4 goals and 5 assists in 17 games, but never became the main player.

After returning to Manchester United this summer, Barcelona became interested in Rashford and hoped to introduce him on loan. This may be the last chance in Rashford's career.

In recent years, Barcelona fans have become accustomed to the club's introduction of well-known players through loans. Two years ago, the team had loaned two Portuguese internationals, Felix and Cancelo. Although they performed well on the court, they eventually failed to stay in Barcelona for various reasons. Felix was transferred to Chelsea for the high loan fee, while Cancelo left for a huge offer from the Riyadh Crescent.

The next loan players are Luke Dejong and Adama Traore, who came on loan from Sevilla and scored 7 goals in 29 games. Traore was loaned by Wolves, but he had hardly received many opportunities in half a season, and neither of them had the chance to stay in Barcelona. Looking back, Boateng once joined Barcelona in the second half of the 2018/19 season, but his performance was mediocre and he had almost no outstanding performance.

Perhaps because of these precedents, Barcelona is not very enthusiastic about loans. However, at the beginning of this century, the club also had successful loan cases, such as Edgar Davis and Van Bronkhorst. The latter was even officially bought out after the loan period ended. For Rashford, this was what he expected, but historically it would be very difficult to achieve this.
