Marcus Rashford says he made move to Barcelona from Man United 'to be happy' - and reveals the bizarre nickname his new Barcelona team-mates are calling him

Marcus Rashford has revealed he left Manchester United 'to be happy' in a front page interview with a Spanish newspaper just weeks after completing his move to Barcelona.

The 27-year-old forward left his boyhood club last month to join Barcelona on loan after being placed in Ruben Amorim's five-man 'bomb squad' alongside former Red Devils team-mates Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia.

After making the switch to the Spanish giants, which crucially includes a buy option next summer, Rashford immediately admitted it was a 'joy' to join the club and claimed it is where 'dreams come true'.
