Marcus Rashford could break Wayne Rooney's Manchester United record Wayne Rooney believes Marcus Rashford, after his standout season at FC Barcelona, is the only player capable of surpassing his record of 253 goals for Manchester United. The 40-year-old former Old Trafford striker emphasized that Rashford must work hard to achieve this. ## What did Rashford achieve at Barcelona? During his loan spell at FC Barcelona in the 2024-25 season, Rashford scored 14 goals and provided 14 assists, including a stunning goal in the Clásico against Real Madrid that helped Barcelona win the league. Although Barcelona did not exercise their €30 million purchase option, Rashford left a positive mark on the club. ## Why is this important for Barcelona? Although Rashford is no longer at Barcelona, his success at the club rehabilitated his image and demonstrated his potential. The team, which finished the 2025 season as La Liga champions with 79 points and a 9-point lead over Real Madrid, remains a benchmark in European football. ## What's next for Rashford? Back at Manchester United, Rashford has a contract until 2028 and has rejoined the team coached by Michael Carrick. With 138 goals to his name, Rashford has the opportunity to surpass Rooney's record if he maintains his scoring rate. Barcelona's next match will be against Athletic Club on February 28, 2027.
