JAKARTA - Wing player Marcus Rashford proved that he was able to make an important contribution to Barcelona. Coach Hansi Flick showed a signal for the club to keep him if they ended Rashford's loan period. Supporters also made a poll about Rashford whether he would stay at Barca or return to Manchester United next season.
The poll was held by Mundo Deportivo which discussed Rashford's future at Barca. The result? It turns out that 54.6% of respondents hope that Barca will recruit this 28-year-old winger permanently.
However, those who do not want Rashford and ask the club to return him to Man Utd at the end of the season are also quite large, namely almost 40%. And the rest answered not knowing.
However, the poll results showed that fans want the England national team player to join Barca.
Moreover, he showed brilliant and consistent performance. During the last nine matches, he was recorded four times to be played by Flick as a starter.
Rashford has also bagged seven goals and made eight assists in various competitions. More than that, his role brought Barca to the top of the Spanish LaLiga standings with a four-point lead over Real Madrid.
The impressive performance made Flick begin to believe that Rashford deserved to be permanent. Previously, Rashford was not the target of the Blaugrana who hoped to bring Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao. It's just that his efforts to bring him have always failed.
Flick himself will overhaul the squad in the upcoming season. Striker Robert Lewandowski cannot be relied on completely because he is 37 years old.
Although there is a possibility that his contract will be extended, Lewandowski is no longer the first choice. This is what makes the Polish national team striker to be released with a free status because his contract is indeed ending in 2026.
Barca is actually targeting Harry Kane, a striker for Bayern Munich. Only, Kane's age is no longer young. Next season, the England national team captain will turn 33 so Barca can't give him a long contract.
Flick is also faced with an injury problem that has begun to frequently haunt Lamine Yamal. The reason is that Yamal is forced to continue playing at the age of 18. Not only at the club but also for the Spanish national team.
As a result, he easily got injured. This is what makes Flick hope the club can sign Rashford.
However, Barca must prepare 30 million euros to get Rashford from Man Utd. In addition, Barca is still looking for a new striker and central defender.
