Rashford scores a stunning goal, delivering a valuable message to MU

Marcus Rashford officially marked his name on the La Liga scoresheet with a brilliant volley for Barcelona and was also announced by La Liga officials as the best player of the match.

Joining Barcelona on loan during the summer 2025 transfer window, Rashford quickly adapted to his new environment. Prior to this, he had already scored 2 goals in the Champions League and provided 4 assists within his first few weeks at Barca.

In the match against Sevilla last weekend, Pedri delivered a perfect pass after Barca pressed high, causing Sevilla to lose possession. Rashford timed his run from the left wing perfectly and unleashed a left-footed volley that beat goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos. That goal marked Rashford’s fourth consecutive match contributing to a goal. Since leaving Manchester United for Barcelona on loan, he has tallied 3 goals and 4 assists in 10 appearances.

However, personal joy could not overshadow the team’s disappointing result. Barcelona suffered a heavy 1-4 defeat at Sevilla, losing their advantage in the title race as Real Madrid extended their lead to 2 points. Despite the setback, Barcelona’s internal staff highly praised Rashford’s contribution. In fact, a senior club official revealed he was “astonished” by the low fee Manchester United accepted to let him go.

Rashford came to Camp Nou on a loan deal until the end of the season, but Barca included an option to buy for about £26 million, a figure considered “surprisingly cheap” for a top European player at 27 years old.

According to The Mirror (UK), President Joan Laporta was “stunned” that Manchester United agreed to this price, especially since Rashford is in the prime of his career and can play multiple attacking positions.

Based on The Sun, a source inside Barca revealed the leadership’s view: “At his peak form, Rashford is one of Europe’s best players. Barcelona secured an incredible deal. Given the current market, Marcus should be worth over £60 million.”

This makes the deal even more notable, as Rashford was once a key player for Man United and a prominent figure for the England national team. His exclusion by coach Ruben Amorim and subsequent departure from Old Trafford raised questions about how Man United values their players.
