"The 27-year-old made the temporary switch this summer from Manchester United, where he had fallen out of favour under Ruben Amorim, prompting a loan to Aston Villa before this agreement with Barca. The agreement is said to include an option for the Catalan club to buy the winger permanently for 27m, according to Sky Sports News, which would be a bargain based on his CV and current form."
"He's raced out of the blocks for the La Liga outfit, notching three goals and five assists in 10 appearances across all competitions so far; strong output considering he hasn't been a nailed-on starter. But regardless of the winger's form, Barca may simply not have the bandwidth to take him on next summer.

Marcus Rashford joined Barcelona on loan from Manchester United after falling out of favour and a prior loan to Aston Villa. The loan reportedly includes a €27m buy option, which would be good value given his record and current performances. Rashford has scored three goals and provided five assists in 10 appearances across all competitions so far. Barcelona face financial and player registration constraints and may prioritize spending to replace ageing striker Robert Lewandowski, who has 105 goals in 156 appearances and is 37. Established wide options at the club reduce the likelihood of Rashford being prioritized for a permanent deal.
