Barcelona is amazed by Marcus Rashford

Joining Barcelona on loan from Man Utd, Marcus Rashford rapidly emerged as a key player and set a high personal target: to be directly involved in 30-40 goals this season.

Marcus Rashford is currently experiencing a period of great success with Barcelona. After leaving Manchester United to regain his form, the 26-year-old striker has made a promising start at Camp Nou and even set a bold personal goal: to directly contribute to between 30 and 40 goals in his first season.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Rashford has already had a hand in 6 goals after 9 appearances, including 2 goals and 4 assists. Notably, these contributions make up 25% of Barcelona's total goals this season, matching the output of Ferran Torres – another key attacker for the Catalan club.

This explosive start shows Rashford’s quick adaptation to the tactical system implemented by Hansi Flick. The English player brings pace, creativity in transitions, and a strong understanding with attacking partners like Ferran Torres and Dani Olmo. In the match against Newcastle, he scored a brace, proving his ability to shine under pressure. In games versus PSG, Getafe, Real Oviedo, and Real Sociedad, Rashford left his mark with decisive passes.

Rashford’s direct and decisive playing style makes him a potent attacking threat. Beyond goals and assists, his number of shots, dribbles, and chances created rank among the highest at Barcelona. This explains why Hansi Flick considers him a core figure in this season’s attacking strategy.

In reality, Barcelona is stretched across multiple competitions, and Rashford is expected to maintain consistent form to reach his ambitious personal target. With a goal involvement target between 30 and 40, Rashford not only wants to prove himself in La Liga but also aims to conquer the Champions League.

Meanwhile, his parent club Manchester United is struggling. The Red Devils recently suffered a 1-3 loss to Brentford, falling to 14th place with a -4 goal difference. In this context, Rashford’s success at Barcelona makes many MU fans feel even more regretful.

If he continues this form, Rashford could easily reach his set target and establish himself as one of the most impressive loan signings of the European season.
