"Marcus Rashford has revealed that his summer deal with Barcelona was not the first time he has spoken to the Catalan club about a potential transfer, but said he believes the timing was right to make the move after seeking "a change" following more than 20 years at Manchester United. The England forward has impressed at Barcelona, scoring five goals in 12 appearances after arriving on loan from United."
""It was so many years in one place," Rashford told ESPN in an exclusive interview ahead of this weekend's Clásico at Real Madrid. "People forget this, but 24 years, 23 years of my life was with Manchester United. So sometimes you just need a change. I think maybe this is the case with me and yeah, I'm enjoying everything.""
""I just believe that things happen when they're supposed to happen," Rashford said. "It's not the first time I spoke with Barcelona about potentially coming here, but for whatever reasons it didn't happen in the past and now is my opportunity to make it happen. "I feel like there's no time like the present now. So I just take things day to day.""
Marcus Rashford joined Barcelona on loan from Manchester United after seeking a change following over two decades at United. He has scored five goals in 12 appearances and has adapted well to a new environment. Rashford had previously spoken with Barcelona about a potential move but only completed a deal this summer. Exiled at Old Trafford under head coach Ruben Amorim, he prioritized the Barcelona move after a loan spell at Aston Villa ended. Rashford emphasizes daily improvement, believes the timing is right, and is preparing for his first Clásico at Real Madrid.
