Marcus Rashford hopes to remain at Barcelona when his loan deal from Manchester United expires in the summer.
Barcelona hold an option to make the move permanent for £28 million — a fee considerably lower than the £40 million United would demand from any other club.
The 27-year-old’s contract with Manchester United runs until 2028, but he appears to have no future at Old Trafford as long as Ruben Amorim remains in charge.
“Without question,” Rashford told ESPN when asked if he wants to stay in Spain.
“I’m enjoying this football club, and I think for anyone who loves football, Barcelona is one of the key clubs in the history of the game. For a player, it’s an honour,” he continued.
Rashford spent the second half of last season at Aston Villa, where his career was revived under Unai Emery.
He has now taken his goal tally to five in 12 matches for Barcelona, thanks to a brace against Olympiacos in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Rashford, who is expected to play in his first El Clasico against Real Madrid this weekend, believes he is benefiting from the change of environment.
“People forget this, but I spent 23 years of my life at Manchester United. So sometimes you just need a change. I think maybe that’s the situation for me, and I’m enjoying everything,” he concluded.
