<p>Barca have confirmed the signing of Rashford on loan from United, with an announcement video that shows the forward in a London phone box. He becomes the first Englishman to play for the Catalan club since Gary Lineker, who departed Camp Nou in 1989, 36 years ago.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">📞 "Yeah… It’s official."<br>Rashford follows in Lineker’s footsteps. <a href="https://t.co/ZvbnDAtbax">pic.twitter.com/ZvbnDAtbax</a></p>— FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) <a href="https://twitter.com/FCBarcelona/status/1948062283407434027?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 23, 2025</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Rashford will hope to play regular first-team football in Catalonia after falling out of favour and falling out with Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford. Barcelona have confirmed that they have the option to buy him come the end of the season, as did Aston Villa, although they opted against triggering it.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Rashford told Mundo Deportivo: "Very excited. I think it's a club where people's dreams come true. They win big prizes. What the club stands for really means a lot to me as well, so it feels like I'm at home, and that's a big factor in my choice to come here. For me, it's a family club and people are comfortable here, it's a place for good players to showcase their skills."</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="es" dir="ltr">👏 Las primeras palabras de Rashford en <a href="https://twitter.com/BarcaOneFCB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BarcaOneFCB</a> <br><br>💭 "Es un club donde los sueños de la gente se hacen realidad"<br>❤️ "Se siente que estoy en casa" <a href="https://t.co/0iWYP2rcOO">pic.twitter.com/0iWYP2rcOO</a></p>— Mundo Deportivo (@mundodeportivo) <a href="https://twitter.com/mundodeportivo/status/1948066973222617339?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 23, 2025</a></blockquote>

WHAT RASHFORD SAID

<p>Rashford has won 62 caps for England and will hope to catch Thomas Tuchel's eye with his performances in Spain. He was not included in Gareth Southgate's squad for Euro 2024, but has played twice for the German tactician, appearing in both of his first two games against Albania and Latvia. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Rashford will begin pre-season training with Barcelona swiftly. They play Vissel Kobe on July 27, in what could be the United academy product's unofficial debut. </p>
