Marcus Rashford set to face familiar face in Barcelona's pre-season
Manchester United's on loan striker Marcus Rashford will come up against a familiar face on pre-season tour. Rashford gets his move The Red Devils finally agreed to a loan deal with FC Barcelona over the weekend. The deal will see Barcelona have the option to sign the player permanently next summer for £26 million. United will mainly benefit from the deal as they will not pay any of Rashford's weekly wage and this will save millions across the season. The Carrington academy graduate will be presented later today as a Barca player in front of the fanbase and will then jet off on the club's pre-season tour. A familiar face on tour Website has claimed that 'incoming Barcelona signing Marcus Rashford is set for an unlikely reunion with a compatriot and former teammate on the club's pre-season tour of Asia.' This is because Barcelona have a friendly match against Jesse Lingard's FC Seoul scheduled for Thursday 31st July. Lingard and Rashford connection Jesse Lingard and Rashford both came through the United academy as kids. Lingard earned his first start in the 2014-2015 season but really won his spot in the first team squad the following season. The 2015-2016 season also saw the rise of Rashford who broke onto the scene with two debut goals in the Europa League. Lingard finally left the club in 2022 for Nottingham Forest before he moved to South Korea to play for FC Seoul last year. The two players spent seven seasons as teammates in the United first team as Lingard played 232 times for the club. The two would often be caught on camera celebrating and dancing together and will surely both love the chance to catch up at the end of the month.

Marcus Rashford set for emotional reunion with ex-Man Utd star and close pal in one of his first games for Barcelona
MARCUS RASHFORD could line up against one of his closest mates in one of his first games for Barcelona once his move is confirmed. Rashford, 27, is set to seal a season-long loan move to the Nou Camp this week, bringing an end to a drawn-out saga that has seen his time with boyhood club Manchester United end on a sour note. 4 The England forward, who is already in Spain to seal the move, is only leaving on a temporary basis, however Barcelona will hold a buy-option believed to be around £26m in his contract. Once the move is officially confirmed by both United and Barca, Rashford could be cleared to take part in the Catalan club's pre-season tour of South Korea. That three-match warm-up tour will see Barcelona take on K League outfit FC Seoul - setting up a clash against a familiar face for Rashford. FC Seoul is the unlikely home of former Man Utd star and Rashford's close friend Jesse Lingard. Lingard, 32, has been playing out in South Korea since early 2024, where he has made 49 appearances for FC Seoul, scoring 12 times and registering six assists. Rashford and Lingard played together at United between 2016 and 2022, sharing the pitch together 134 times. While they also represented England alongside one and other on 18 occasions. Barcelona will also take on Vissel Kobe and Daegu during their Asian tour. 4 4 Despite Rashford's likely inclusion in the pre-season tour, reports suggest that he could fail to make his competitive debut for some time. That's because Barcelona are said to be unable to register Rashford with La Liga until they have flogged a number of their current players to free up salary space. Barcelona fans welcome Rashford with incredible mural Barcelona have been hit by LaLiga spending limits in recent years, with delays in registering Dani Olmo and Pau Victor last season, only to later have their registrations revoked. LaLiga president Javier Tebas said the club's financial situation also blocked a deal for Nico Williams, who instead signed a new contract with Athletic Bilbao. Barca are thought to have agreed to pay Rashford's hefty £325,000-per-week wages IN FULL during his loan switch.
