Pogba Expresses Delight Over Rashford’s Move from Manchester United to Barcelona

Paul Pogba, currently playing for AS Monaco, has shared his joy over the news of Marcus Rashford’s departure from Manchester United to Spanish giants FC Barcelona.

The deal between Manchester United and Barcelona has been finalized, with all necessary documentation completed to secure Rashford’s loan move to the La Liga champions. Rashford has since landed in Spain, where he is undergoing medical examinations with the Blaugrana to complete his transition.

As part of his agreement with Barcelona, Rashford agreed to a significant pay reduction, accepting a 15% cut on his wages. Under the new terms, the Catalan club will be covering a gross salary of €14 million, translating to €7 million net after taxes.

Moreover, the agreement between both clubs features a buy option clause. Barcelona retains the right to make Rashford’s move permanent by paying €30 million, with this clause set to become actionable by June 2026.

Reacting to the move, Pogba conveyed his happiness for his former Manchester United teammate but did not hide his sentiment that the Red Devils are losing an outstanding talent.

While speaking during a conversation with popular American YouTuber and streamer IShowSpeed, Pogba was quoted by The Touchline expressing:

“That’s crazy. I’m happy for him.
Manchester United is losing a great player! That’s great for Barcelona.”

Both Pogba and Rashford once shared the pitch at Old Trafford as teammates, forming a dynamic partnership during their time together at Manchester United. This latest development marks another chapter in Rashford’s career, where he now looks to make his mark in La Liga with Barcelona.
