Earlier this weekend it was generally reported that Barcelona agreed to sign Marcus Rashford from Manchester United. The 27-year-old attacker will arrive in Catalonia for a seasonal loan with an option to buy, which is assumed that it is worth in the region of € 30-35 million.
Rashford will be the very bound left wing player for Barcelona, who had previously searched deals for Nico Williams and Luis Diaz. He is expected to fly to Catalonia in the coming hours, with a view to completing his medical and signing all suitable documents in the coming days and when things go smoothly, he will be admitted to Hansi Flick's team for the pre-season tour through Japan and South Korea.
There is excitement among Barcelona supporters for the arrival of Rashford, and once an aspect they want to see is his team number at the La Liga champions. According to MD, he has three choices: 14, 19 and 22.
Rashford is expected to wear 14 or 19, since both figures are considerable. The first was worn by the legendary Johan Cruyff, as well as Thierry Henry, who is a hero of the English International.
In the meantime, 19 is a former number of him of his early days at Man United – in particular he wore two seasons, between 2016 and 2018. The number was also earlier in the hands of Lamine Yamal, who earlier this week the no. 10 inherited after the move from Ansu Fati to Monaco.
Apart from any complications, it will soon be known for which number Rashford chooses. It will be very interesting to see how he will continue in Barcelona, with many experts who predict him to be a valuable asset for film, whose attacking options now look very dangerous for the new season that will start next month.
