Fabrizio Romano has revealed what Barcelona think of Marcus Rashford\u2019s attitude, as the Manchester United outcast continues to star away from Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
Rashford<\/a> joined Barcelona on a season-long loan deal from Man Utd in the summer of 2025. Sources have told TEAMtalk that Barcelona, who won LaLiga last season, have he option to make the deal permanent for \u20ac30million (\u00a326m, $35m) next summer.<\/p>\n TEAMtalk\u2019s transfer correspondent, Fraser Fletcher, has long reported that Rashford\u2019s dream has always been to play for Barcelona<\/a>.<\/p>\n Despite joining Aston Villa on loan for the second half of last season, Rashford wanted to move to Barcelona in the summer of 2025, and he is now living his dream.<\/p>\n The 27-year-old, who was not considered good enough by Man Utd<\/a> manager Ruben Amorim and whose attitude on the pitch was often criticised by the Old Trafford faithful, has scored five goals and given six assists in 12 appearances for Barcelona so far this season.<\/p>\n Rashford\u2019s latest heroics for the Blaugrana came in the Champions League on Tuesday evening, as the Man Utd-owned forward scored two goals in a 6-1 hammering of Olympiakos at Estadi Ol\u00edmpic Llu\u00eds Companys.<\/p>\n Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano<\/a> has revealed that Rashford is very popular with his Barcelona team-mates, adding that the Man Utd-owned forward\u2019s attitude has also been very impressive.<\/p>\n Romano said about Rashford on his YouTube channel<\/a>: \u201cRashford is sending very clear messages, his desire to be a Barcelona player is there since January 2025, so basically almost one year ago.<\/p>\n \u201cIn the January window, it was not possible to make the deal happen because Barcelona didn\u2019t have the space to register and sign Marcus Rashford because Ansu Fati didn\u2019t want to leave the club in January.<\/p>\n \u201cThen in the summer, Ansu Fati accepted the possibility to leave Barcelona, went to Monaco.<\/p>\n \u201cBarcelona had the space to sign Rashford and completed the transfer on a deal with a \u20ac30million buy option clause, but now, Rashford is performing in a fantastic way, already reaching 10 goal contributions \u2013 between goals and assists \u2013 and doing very well in the Champions League.<\/p>\n \u201cHe can play as a striker, he can play as a winger. You can feel how comfortable Rashford is at Barcelona, and, once again, as I have been telling you for weeks, the feeling internally at Barca is that Rashford really perfectly fits the structure they have on the tactical point of view with Barcelona.<\/p>\n \u201cThey are all very happy with all the relationship Rashford has with his team-mates as well.<\/p>\n \u201cThe reputation of Rashford is something that has to be clarified. He is really popular in the dressing room at Barcelona.<\/p>\n \u201cLook at the image after the game of Fermin Lopez scores an attack against Olympiacos, Marcus Rashford, who scored two goals, took the ball and went to Fermin Lopez, telling him, okay, take the ball, because, also, this kind of behaviour is something really appreciated by Barcelona.<\/p>\n \u201cThe performance is okay, of course, goals, assists, Rashford is doing very well, very versatile player upfront who can play in several positions, but also important to say, the behaviour, the attitude of Marcus Rashford is really appreciated by Barcelona.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, let me say, from what I understand, the feeling internally at Barcelona \u2013 internal means board, management, technical staff, the manager and those who work closely with Hansi Flick \u2013 is that if Marcus Rashford will continue like this in every single point of view \u2013 delivering performances and perfect attitude \u2013 he will have very good chances to continue at the club beyond this season.\u201d<\/p>\n IN DEPTH\u00a0\ud83d\udd34\u00a0Ranking Joshua Zirkzee\u2019s Man Utd escape route options as Prem loan links gather pace<\/a><\/p>\n What was said about Marcus Rashford at Man Utd?<\/p>\n Man Utd fans will be disappointed to learn Rashford\u2019s positive attitude at Barcelona, especially as the latter years of his career at Old Trafford were far from impressive.<\/p>\n Rashford was often criticised for not putting in enough effort when he played for Man Utd, having come through the club\u2019s youth academy to establish himself in the first team.<\/p>\n Former Man Utd star Paul Parker said this week: \u201cRashford put himself in a bad position where he didn\u2019t know what to do.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you can\u2019t give everything for your boyhood club and you are willing to let down the rest of the team, then that says a lot about you.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIf you can\u2019t do it at the club you have been at since you were a kid, even saying you support that team and love the city where you have been brought up.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you can\u2019t deliver for them and let your teammates down on numerous occasions, then you are in a very bad position.\u201d<\/p>\n Parker added: \u201cHe let his teammates down. He was lazy, he didn\u2019t do anything. He\u2019s got a lot to prove if he comes back to England.<\/p>\n \u201cHow many players in the UK would trust him if he played for their team? We know it, the answer is no one. They would never say it, but they would be feeling it inside.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was life and death when I played, and that should have been inbuilt in him, but it isn\u2019t. He has done alright, but I don\u2019t think he is in Barcelona\u2019s ideal starting eleven.<\/p>\n \u201cWill he start in a Champions League final with Yamal, Raphinha and Lewandowski? I think the answer is no.<\/p>\n \u201cHe doesn\u2019t start. Everything about Marcus Rashford seems to be about politics, to be honest.\u201d<\/p>\n In September 2025, Man Utd legend Paul Scholes said about Rashford on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast: \u201cI really struggle to feel happy for Marcus Rashford.<\/p>\n \u201cMainly because of his attitude. His attitude towards Man United towards the end was disgraceful.<\/p>\n \u201cThe amount of times I saw him walking because he wanted to leave\u2026 His whole demeanour about him was a disgrace.<\/p>\n \u201cI think he quit on Man Utd. When you quit once, you\u2019ll quit again. He was late last night [for Barcelona]. He won\u2019t get away with that for long at Barca.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s absolutely no chance. How can you sleep in these days? Your phone, f*cking alarm, whatever. How can you sleep in?<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s definitely got the talent to be [one of the best players in the world]. But he\u2019ll never have the mentality.\u201d<\/p>\n While Man Utd fans will be happy for Rashford at Barcelona, they will be disappointed that the forward did not show the same level of positivity and attitude when he was at the Red Devils.<\/p>\n HAVE YOU SIGNED UP?\u00a0\ud83d\udcab\u00a0Get the inside story first by joining\u00a0our\u00a0TEAMtalk Facebook channel<\/a>\u00a0to receive the latest breaking and exclusive news straight into your Messenger inbox.\u00a0<\/p>\n Latest Man Utd news: Bundesliga raid, Cristiano Ronaldo obstacle<\/p>\n Fabrizio Romano has already confirmed Man Utd\u2019s interest in one of the Bundesliga\u2019s best players<\/a>, with the transfer guru claiming that the Red Devils are monitoring him closely.<\/p>\n
