1 / 2

Barcelona captain Frenkie de Jong praised Marcus Rashford’s direct runs and speed after their 1-0 win over Osasuna. He explained how Rashford stretches defences, creating space for the midfield and boosting the team’s attack. De Jong also spoke on Rashford’s character, calling him “open and kind” and highlighting the English forward’s decisive assist for Robert Lewandowski’s winner. Rashford has contributed 13 goals and 11 assists since joining on loan this season. Despite his strong form, Rashford’s long-term future remains uncertain. Barcelona are trying to renegotiate the €30 million buy clause in his loan deal, but Manchester United are holding firm on their valuation.
