Marcus Rashford’s childhood dream turned into a nightmare after a clash of personalities, tactics and an ill-informed nightclub trip.

The Manchester-born United fan who netted twice on his debut seemed like a fairytale story, and for a while it was, with the then-18-year-old even playing a part in a major trophy win as Manchester United won a first FA Cup in 13 years that May.

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has completed a season-long loan move to La Liga club Barcelona. The 27-year-old joins on an initial 12-month loan, with the Catalan giants having the option of signing the England international on a permanent basis for £30.3m (35m euros) in 2026.
