Rashford teased a departure abroad with this cryptic post on Instagram, which was accompanied with a picture of him on a private jet. Many of Rashford’s Old Trafford team-mates, including Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes, liked the post to show their support. Rashford will have the opportunity to play alongside some of the most talented players in Europe at Barcelona, as they attempt to retain their La Liga crown. Ex-United manager Ruben Amorim had previously outlined why he and Rashford were not a good fit – though Rashford hit the ground running on loan with Aston Villa, who finished in sixth and qualified for the Europa League. Aston Villa boss Unai Emery said Rashford is so comfortable and that the club are trying to make him feel at ease and allow him to perform at his best level.
