The Barcelona Sporting Director has spoken about the potential signing Would the forward, currently on loan at Barcelona, be a good signing for the La Liga champions? Author |  Peter Grainger   What next for Marcus Rashford? youtu.be/YsWVOzZZWE0?... [image or embed] — Super News Affiliate ( @eurosuperfootball.bsky.social ) 23 May 2025 at 07:43 Rashford has been in reasonable form for Aston Villa since joining them on loan for the second half of the season from Manchester United. While he has impressed at points with four goals and six assists in 17 appearances for Unai Emery's side, his promising start for the club was curtailed by a hamstring injury.  It remains to be seen whether Aston Villa want to make this move permanent.

Barcelona were said to be interested in signing Rashford on loan back in January, but were ultimately beaten to his signature by the Villa...

Newcastle United 1 - 2 Barcelona Marcus Rashford made a spectacular Champions League bow for Barcelona as Newcastle United's campaign got off to a losing start at St James' Park. Author | Anthony Gates Stadium | St James' Park The forward, on loan from Manchester United, broke open a tense contest with two decisive second-half strikes that left Eddie Howe’s side chasing shadows.

Yet Luis Enrique’s side, who claimed the treble last season by dismantling Internazionale 5-0 in the final, still found a way to take all three points.

Author |  William G England v Wales friendly Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has also been called up to the senior squad for the first time.

The England manager considers Harry Kane alternatives Thomas Tuchel is assessing options ahead of the friendly against Wales after Kane suffered an injury, though with World Cup qualification likely, the absence is not seen as critical. Author |  William G Kane's influence on the team is clear. The captain has scored a record 74 goals in 109 appearances, while the rest of the squad has combined for 53. Since his debut in 2015, Kane has contributed 26.4% of England’s goals, with Raheem Sterling, last capped at the 2022 World Cup, the only other player to reach 20 goals.

England player ratings from the 5-0 win over Latvia  There were some very impressive performances from Tuchel’s players Author | William G We'd see our player of the match was Harry Kane. Not only for his goals but for his all-round contribution. Jordan Pickford | 6/10 Another calm performance from a goalkeeper who last conceded for England a year ago and has now kept nine consecutive clean sheets. He again faced minimal action, encountering only one shot on target in the qualifying campaign so far. Djed Spence | 7/10 An impressive first competitive start for England, showing he can perform effectively at right-back as well as on the left. He was active in both halves and contributed to the fourth goal, albeit aided by Tonisev’s error. Ezri Konsa | 7/10 Composed and authoritative in the heart of defence, ensuring England barely missed Guehi, who was rested. Produced a moment of drama when he raced back to slide in and deny Gutkovskis a near-certain goal. Highlights courtesy of ...
