Marcus Rashford has responded to questions about his chance of making a permanent move to Barcelona after suffering 'humiliation' early on in his loan stint with the Catalans

Marcus Rashford is in Barcelona to complete a move from Manchester United, a person with knowledge of the transfer told The Associated Press.

For now, Rashford is only allowed to play in non-competitive games. That includes the Joan Gamper Trophy clash against Como, and preseason tours in Japan and South Korea. But once the La Liga season kicks off on August 16 at Real Mallorca, Rashford’s involvement depends entirely on Barca’s ability to balance the books.

Raphinha has welcomed the increased competition for places in Barcelona's attacking positions following the arrival of Marcus Rashford.

Raphinha has welcomed Marcus Rashford to Barcelona with a firm message, warning the Manchester United loanee about the fierce competition for places at the club. The Brazilian insists that increased rivalry in the squad will only push players to improve as Barca look to compete for major trophies again this season after their great debut season under Hansi Flick.

The Brazilian faces sterner competition for his starting berth moving forward after Barça’s loan signing of Rashford from Manchester United this summer, but the 28-year-old believes that such squad depth is necessary to compete for the biggest prizes.
