When Marcus Rashford arrived at the Camp Nou, many expected him to be eased in slowly, adapting to Barcelona’s unique style under Hansi Flick. But after just a few pre-season games, everything has changed.
Sources inside the club reveal that Flick, initially planning to rotate the England star, has been blown away by Rashford’s impact, work rate, and ability to link with Barcelona’s fluid attack. His blistering pace, clinical finishing, and pressing intensity have forced the coach into a major rethink.
Now, Rashford isn’t just in the squad plans he’s being positioned as a key starter for the 2025/26 campaign, forming a deadly front line with Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski.
From “let’s give him time” to “we can’t start without him” this is one of the fastest turnarounds in recent Barça history. And if Rashford keeps this form, he could be the surprise weapon that takes Barcelona to the very top this season.
