Rashford joined Barcelona on loan last summer to revive his career, but even the most optimistic predictions would have hardly expected him to feature so regularly.
The England star has scored six goals and delivered nine assists in 17 games across all competitions. He has found his slot in Hansi Flick’s line-up, partly because of Raphinha’s two-month injury, but the impression Rashford has left among team-mates and coaching staff has been very good.
Rashford’s ability to create dangerous situations in attack and add them up with good numbers has been his best output for the club. He has not been the go-to man in attack, given Barcelona have Lamine Yamal as their biggest creative source, but despite not being a first option, Rashford has earned a place among their best generators on the offensive end.
His loan terms include a buy option for Barcelona at the end of this season, valued at €30million (£26m; $35m).
