"He faced the responsibility of becoming an important player at Man United - United, like us, are one of the biggest clubs in the world - too young. He suffered a bit with this change of generation at United too. If you see United in the last five years, they had difficulties rebuilding the team, to become stronger again. He was there. So it's not easy for a player [from whom] people demand a lot."
"We were looking for a player like him on the market. A player that could play in the three positions up front. We were able to sign Marcus on loan now because of his desire to play for Barcelona. He waited a lot. He knew that we were dealing with financial rules. But he was patient. He waited and we're happy to have him."

Versatility to play across the front three and a clear desire to join Barcelona enabled the loan move despite club financial constraints. Patience during transfer negotiations and a supportive environment at Barcelona have contributed to Rashford's revived form.
