Rashford would like to play at Barcelona with Yamal

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford says he would like to play alongside teenage superstar Lamine Yamal at Barcelona.

The 27-year-old, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, is currently fitness training in Spain before club pre-season starts, amid speculation over his future at United.

When asked about the prospect of playing with Yamal in an interview with Spanish influencer Javi Ruiz, Rashford said: “Yes, for sure, Everyone wants to play with the best. Hopefully… we’ll see.”

Yamal, 17, played a huge part as Barcelona won a domestic double and reached the Champions League semi-finals last season. He also had a starring role in Spain’s Euro 2024 success.

“[It is] difficult to put into words what he is doing. He is not supposed to be doing that at 16-17 [years of age]. We have not seen that before. It is a skill to be able to play at that age with that mentality,” Rashford added.
