Rashford's situation changed in January when he was loaned to Aston Villa. This move helped him regain his form and get back on track. His new opportunity at Villa showed that he was a player of great quality, and he eventually caught the attention of Barcelona.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta spoke about Rashford's enthusiasm for joining the club. Laporta said that Rashford is a sincere player who had always dreamed of playing for Manchester United for the rest of his life. However, when circumstances changed, Rashford's sights turned to Barcelona.

Laporta mentioned that Rashford had been loaned to Aston Villa to prove himself as one of the best players in England. During his time at Villa, Rashford showed that he was motivated to win the Champions League with Barcelona and the World Cup with England.

Rashford's strong motivation and excitement about joining Barcelona are clear. He has entered the team well and is already making a positive impact. Laporta is happy to have Rashford on board and is looking forward to seeing him contribute to the team's success.

In a previous match against Barcelona, Rashford had made a significant difference in the Europa League tie, beating the team two years ago. Laporta is pleased that Rashford has now joined Barcelona and is eager to see him help the team achieve its goals.
