Marcus Rashford: What does the future hold for the on-loan Manchester United forward after winning LaLiga with Barcelona?

It all worked out for Marcus Rashford.

There was a time when if you said Rashford was a league title winner, it would have meant the glory days had returned to Manchester United. The Wythenshawe-born striker was once synonymous with the youth programme that United boast about, but now he's a history-maker at Spotify Camp Nou and his future is stuck in limbo.

Rashford's preference is to stay in Barcelona beyond his season-long loan from Old Trafford; the only thing stopping him from making that a reality is that he's not a "magician". From his own words, if he were, he'd stay in Spain.

The landscape for Rashford is different now. He's not only a LaLiga winner with Barcelona, but he's a history-maker. He'll always be remembered in Catalonia for his ninth-minute Clasico free-kick that helped them seal the league against Barca's arch-rivals Real Madrid.

Despite his 14 goals and 14 assists for Barcelona this season in all competitions, there's been this overall feeling that his move to the Spanish giants has left a lot to be desired. That isn't the case now; the decision to sign Rashford was vindicated by one free-kick, one performance in one Clasico.

Away from that, though, Rashford is playing some of the most productive football of his career in Spain. His 87 minutes per goal or assist for Barcelona is his best of his entire career. His role at Barcelona has been a far cry from the level of responsibility he had at Old Trafford but his contributions have been vital.

With injuries all across the forward line at varying levels throughout the season, Rashford has remained fit and ready to be called upon. During El Clasico, his first start in a month, he filled in for Lamine Yamal on the right-hand side.

His versatility has also seen him come in for the likes of Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha across the season. It's been a change to Rashford's status within a wider squad in his career but it's a change he's taken on with no complaints.

Among the squad, he's a popular figure also, forming a close relationship with Roony Bardgjhi and is looked upon as one of the side's most experienced players in a young Barca squad.

There's no doubt that he's left a positive impression in Barcelona; now, the newly-crowned champions would like him to stay at Spotify Camp Nou, but that isn't without its obstacles.

Barcelona have a £26m option to buy Rashford this summer as per the loan terms they agreed with United in July. The financial problems at Barcelona have now forced them into a difficult position, where they simply cannot honour the original agreement, and they need to renegotiate with United.
