Marcus Rashford may be nearing the end of the line at the elite level, but his loan to Barcelona could offer one final shot at redemption. After falling out of favour under Ruben Amorim at Manchester United and enduring an underwhelming, injury-hit spell at Aston Villa, the 27-year-old forward arrived in Spain with much to prove. Now under the guidance of Hansi Flick, Rashford has a world-class stage and the weight of expectation. His goal against Newcastle in the Champions League could mark a turning point, but if he fails to deliver at Barça, a return to football’s top tier may never come.
