He’s living everybody’s dream. “Surely there’s something behind the scenes that is making him look as if he’s not enjoying his football at the moment.” Rashford excelled last season during his loan spell at LaLiga giants Barcelona. He scored 13 goals and provided ten assists in 45 appearances in all competitions. However, the Catalan outfit opted against triggering his £26million purchase option in the summer. Barcelona instead chose to splash £70m on Newcastle and England winger Anthony Gordon. Gordon is yet to score in Spain, bu has provided four assists in six LaLiga matches.
