The 27-year-old has been finding his feet in pre-season, with the promise of more to come as he rediscovers a lost spark. Barca do, however, still need to register him with La Liga before the 2025-26 campaign gets underway.
WHAT RASHFORD SAID
That has been an issue for the Blaugrana of late, amid much-publicised financial struggles, with the likes of Dani Olmo seeing questions asked of how long they would be cleared to play for. Rashford believes any issues will be ironed out quickly.
He told during a summer tour of Asia: "I think it's something the club needs to resolve, and I'm confident it will happen. I'm focused on training and being ready for the start of the season."
