Rashford wanted to be a one-club man at Manchester United, claims Laporta - Soccer News
Briefly

Marcus Rashford has joined Barcelona on loan for the 2025-26 season, having expressed a desire to be a one-club man at Manchester United. Despite significant contributions to United, he struggled under coach Ruben Amorim and previously spent time on loan at Aston Villa. Barcelona president Joan Laporta stated Rashford's sincerity regarding his dream to stay at United, and expressed excitement about his potential at the club. Rashford is set to become only the second English player to play for Barcelona, following Gary Lineker.
Rashford signed for Barcelona earlier this week, with the Blaugrana taking the England international on loan for the 2025-26 season. Barca, last season's LaLiga champions, also have the option to buy Rashford.
Laporta claims Rashford saw himself as staying at United for his entire career, but circumstances dictated that could not be the case.
'We are very happy because a player of great quality is coming, at a great age to come to Barca with extraordinary motivation,' said Laporta.
Having made his United debut in February 2016, Rashford has gone on to make 426 appearances for the Red Devils, scoring 138 goals and registering 60 assists.
