Is Marcus Rashford's Barcelona dream dead already? Blaugrana weighing up sending Man Utd outcast back to Old Trafford early amid loanee's 'lost' displays

Rashford only joined the Spanish champions on a temporary basis in July, with the club successfully registering him with La Liga the following month. The England international had previously been exiled - alongside Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia - by United manager Ruben Amorim.

However, according to a report in El Nacional, the Barcelona hierarchy are contemplating cancelling Rashford's loan move amid concerns over his performances. The 27-year-old featured in the Blaugrana's opening three La Liga games in 2025-26 but was substituted at half-time as his side trailed Levante 2-0 on August 23, before they went on to complete a dramatic 3-2 comeback.

One person who is not worried about Rashford, though, is England manager Thomas Tuchel. The German has selected the forward in his squad for the Three Lions' World Cup-qualifying double header against Andorra and Serbia this month.

Rashford will be hoping to get his season truly up and running when England host Andorra at Villa Park on Saturday. Meanwhile, next up for Barcelona is a home match against Valencia in La Liga on September 14. Hansi Flick's men took seven points from a possible nine in their first three league fixtures in 2025-26.
