Why Barcelona signing Marcus Rashford makes perfect sense

Barcelona are reportedly on the verge of completing a loan deal with option to buy for Marcus Rashford.

The out-of-favour Manchester United ace has publicly expressed a desire to join the Catalans and there are a number of reasons why his signing makes sense.

Firstly, it’s seems that no matter what Joan Laporta or Deco said in public, the club were never close to landing Nico Williams.

Luis Diaz was also out of the picture thanks to Liverpool’s valuation and the fact that they’d stated he wasn’t for sale.

Rashford, 27, has the biggest of points to prove in what is, don’t forget, a World Cup year.
