Rashford tipped for Barcelona success by former Blaugrana striker Lineker - Soccer News
Briefly

Gary Lineker believes Marcus Rashford will be a valuable addition to Barcelona as he nears a loan-to-buy transfer from Manchester United. Rashford has experienced a decline in form, scoring only eight goals in the 2023-24 season, with a brief resurgence in 2024-25. Lineker highlights the challenges of Barcelona's current attacking lineup and believes Rashford could thrive in a more competitive environment. He views this move as an important opportunity for Rashford to regain his top form and contribute effectively to the team's success.
Lineker noted that Rashford seems to be in the right frame of mind and believes this move presents a great challenge for him at Barcelona, saying, "He will do great. I think this is a great challenge."
Lineker assessed Barcelona's current team structure, emphasizing their need for rotation in their front lineup: "They have got a stable front three, but they can't keep playing the three players every game."
Lineker acknowledged Lewandowski's remarkable achievements despite his age, saying, "Lewandowski is past his best nearly now - he is remarkable for what he is achieving at this age."
Lineker expressed optimism about Rashford's potential impact, explaining, "I think this is a good signing for Barcelona, and if Marcus can rediscover his best."
