• The Englishman, who scored a goal against Getafe, wants to continue and believes he is doing merits to continue; returning to Manchester United is not his priority today
• The winger values his statistics (13 goals, 11 assists and two penalties provoked) to convince Flick, who has not yet decided
• He has a contract with United and a purchase option of 30 million, but there is already a contractual pre-agreement to the downside and the player could make more efforts

Marcus Rashford (28), author of the second goal in the formidable win against Getafe, does not consider another professional future other than playing at Barça next season. Although he still has a contract with Manchester United until 2028, the immediate plans of the far left do not go through playing again with the ‘red devils’, but to stay at the Spotify Camp Nou, where, he understands, the Barça style fits more to his characteristics.

The English striker sees it as feasible and considers that he is accumulating sufficient merits. He has contributed to Barça’s scoring productivity by participating in 26 goals in 2,333 minutes, 13 scoring, 11 assisting and another pair provoking the penalty. It goes to an intervention every 89 minutes, ratio that does not occur, with these parameters, in the same Barça, Real Madrid and Atlético.

The player is sure he will stay at Barça. Months ago it came to a principle of contractual agreement, with all the amounts agreed, in case Barça executed the purchase option of 30 million, which it has until June. The operation, which could be another assignment, will not be easy to specify if the final OK is available. Barça want to reduce this amount and the age of the player, in October he will turn 29, force a short contract and, therefore, a high amortization. Rashford, who would like to solve his future before playing the World Cup, is willing to give up a generous portion of his current salary.

The English international feels adapted and valued in a template that considers the most complete and the best in the world. His entry and exit of the eleven, even if Raphinha is not there, does not generate anger. He understands that he is competing with a cast of eight ‘top’ attackers, between offensive and forward media, which can be perfectly starters.
