Rashford’s Barcelona jersey number revealed

 The 27-year-old England international is set to begin a new chapter in his career as he joins FC Barcelona on a season-long loan from Manchester United.

Although the Spanish giants are yet to officially announce his signing, multiple credible reports, including Mundo Deportivo, have confirmed the details surrounding the move.

The loan deal is said to include a €30 million purchase option, allowing Barcelona the opportunity to make the move permanent at the end of the 2025/26 season.

Rashford’s potential arrival has generated widespread excitement and speculation, especially concerning what number he would wear at the Camp Nou.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Rashford will wear the iconic number 14 shirt a jersey steeped in footballing history.

“On-loan striker Marcus Rashford will wear jersey number 14 at Barcelona,” the outlet reported on Wednesday, ending days of speculation among supporters.

The number 14 shirt has been famously worn by football legend Thierry Henry, who dazzled fans at both Arsenal and Barcelona with his brilliance.

For Rashford, the number carries personal significance as well. It is one of the three shirt numbers he has worn during his long career with Manchester United, marking a nostalgic connection as he embarks on a new challenge.

Rashford’s move comes after a turbulent season at Manchester United, where he struggled for consistency and saw his role reduced under Erik ten Hag.

The switch to Barcelona could offer him a much-needed resurgence in form, with fans and analysts alike hopeful that a fresh environment will reignite his attacking spark.
