Marcus Rashford ended his Nightmare in Manchester City by sealing a sensational loan movement to Barcelona earlier this summer and sent a brutal message for his debut
Steve McManaman believes that Marcus Rashford has no room in Barcelona despite his sensational loan movement. The Manchester United Forward finally sealed a step away from Old Trafford last month when he moved to Catalonia in the coming season.
The switch sees him on loan, although Barcelona has an option to make the move permanent next summer for around £ 30 million. But Rashford has had a slow start of life in Spain.
Barcelona is still struggling to register him for the La Liga opener this season because of their uncertain financial situation. And Liverpool icon McManaman is struggling to see that Rashford gets a chance given the options that the club already has.
“It is certainly important that he touches the ground,” he said during an event with ESPN. “I thought it was an incredible move for him to be very honest.
“The last few seasons in Manchester United, the way in which Manchester United performed – for him to leave and perhaps one of the most exciting teams in Europe, I thought:” He has a great agent. “
“What does he fit in? The answer is, I don't know. Because Raphinha, Robert [Lewandowski] and lamine [Yamal]They had the most incredible season.
'So you think that is in stone. You have Ferran [Torres] Behind them. They have moved a few players – if you look at the Barcelona team, they still need a few defenders … but they are going to bring in an attacker. So we wait. “
McManaman added: “I hope he is a huge success and I hope he plays. Because it will benefit everyone if he plays.”

Barcelona is only a day of starting their newest La Liga season while they travel to Mallorca on Saturday evening. As it looks now, the registration of Rashford is still not approved.
But it seems that the Spanish giants are able to do emergency action to ensure that he can play earlier instead of playing later. According to athletics, Barcelona managers would be willing to jeopardize their own personal wealth to protect a bank guarantee worth around € 7 million (£ 6 million).
However, Rashford is not the only player who is not eligible to play. Goalists Joan Garcia and Wojciech Szczesny, just like the young defender Gerard Martin, are still not registered.
Rashford will certainly like to come back on the field instead of having scored four goals later in 17 performances on loan in Aston Villa last season, although the Premier League side chose not to sign him permanently.
