Barcelona sporting director Deco spoke warmly about Marcus Rashford, who is playing on loan at the Camp Nou. The English forward has found his form in Spain, away from the pressures at Manchester United. Deco praised the player's professionalism and his contribution to the team. This is reported by Goal.com reports .
Despite strong competition in Hansi Flick's attacking line, Rashford has managed to score 14 goals in all competitions. In particular, his free-kick goal against Real Madrid in El Clasico became one of the highlights of the season. In an interview with BBC Sport, Deco stated: "Marcus has helped us a lot. It is not easy for a player of his level to come on loan, but he has filled Raphinha's shoes worthily."
Reports suggest that the Manchester United board is ready to sell Rashford permanently. Now, the main focus is on whether Barcelona will activate the €35 million transfer clause. Although the forward himself has expressed a desire to stay in La Liga after a productive season, Deco said that no final decision has been reached regarding a permanent deal.
The sporting director also touched upon the team's future. He is confident that Barcelona is entering a new era of success with rising young stars like Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi. According to Deco, despite winning back-to-back league titles, the team's hunger for trophies has not faded.
