Marcus Rashford gives hint about his next career move
Manchester United star Marcus Rashford has sparked speculation about his future by suggesting he would love to play in Spain. During a recent interview with Spanish influencer Javi Ruiz, the England international hinted at a possible move to Barcelona, specifically expressing interest in teaming up with their young star Lamine Yamal. Despite signing a five-year contract extension with Manchester United in 2023, Rashford’s long-term future remains unclear after spending the second half of the Premier League season on loan at Aston Villa. His relationship with new United manager Ruben Amorim appears strained, as the Portuguese coach left him out of several matchday squads.

A possible dream team-up with Lamine Yamal
When asked if he would like to share the pitch with 17-year-old Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal, Rashford responded enthusiastically, saying, “Yes, for sure. Everyone wants to play with the best. Hopefully…we’ll see.” His words have fueled rumours about a potential La Liga switch, especially with Barcelona’s sporting director Deco admitting in May that the Catalan club has a strong interest in Rashford. “We like Rashford,” Deco had told RAC1, suggesting the club may be seriously considering the English forward as a future signing.
Praise for Yamal’s remarkable rise
Rashford also showered praise on Yamal’s performances, emphasizing the teenager’s incredible maturity and talent. “It’s hard to explain what he’s doing at 16 or 17,” Rashford noted. “I don’t think we’ve seen anything like that before.” His admiration for the young forward reflects the growing reputation Yamal is building at Barcelona, and Rashford’s desire to play with him only adds to the buzz around both players.
Uncertain future at Manchester United
As things stand, Rashford’s place at Manchester United is in limbo. His reduced playing time under Amorim and loan spell at Villa suggest a potential departure could be on the cards. With comments like these, fans and pundits alike are watching closely to see if Rashford’s dream of playing in Spain — particularly at Barcelona — might soon become reality.
