Marcus Rashford (Barcelona, on loan from Manchester United)
November 2025
Rashford has 12 goal involvements in 13 matches for Barcelona across La Liga and Champions League, following a prolonged slump at Manchester United. Marking his 28th birthday, he posted “The Resurrection,” pointing to sharper movement, timing, and confidence as he rebuilds form under new surroundings and structure. Barcelona’s spacing and wide isolations suit Rashford’s diagonal runs. Reduced defensive burdens and clearer roles have simplified decisions. Early confidence spikes from European goals reinforced habits. Sustainability depends on off-ball pressing consistency, chance quality against top sides, and maintaining fitness. United will monitor with January and summer options looming.
