Currently on a season-long loan at Barcelona, with an option to purchase for £26 million, Rashford has made a strong impact, contributing to 12 goals in 13 matches—making him the first player at the club to reach double-digit goal involvement this season.

Throughout his career, Rashford has scored 138 goals for Manchester United and received an MBE for his efforts to combat child food poverty in the UK. Despite his accomplishments, some United fans remain divided over his decision to leave the club this summer.
