He will boost the star-studded scoring machine that produced 174 goals in 60 games last season
-
MADRID - Barcelona are set to defend their Spanish La Liga crown with even more attacking ammunition, after adding England forward Marcus Rashford to a goal-scoring juggernaut that netted an eye-watering 174 goals in 60 matches last season.
The 27-year-old has joined on a season-long loan from Manchester United, looking to revive his stalled career alongside teenage sensation Lamine Yamal in what promises to be one of Europe's most explosive front lines.
Rashford, one of Europe's top talents before falling out of favour at the Red Devils, spent the latter part of last season on loan at Aston Villa.
He joins a stellar attacking cast featuring Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres.
He will wear the No. 14 shirt, previously donned by Barca favourites including Thierry Henry and Javier Mascherano.
Rashford's arrival is timely, as Barcelona announced on Aug 8 that Lewandowski has suffered a hamstring injury and may miss the start of the La Liga season.
"The first-team player Robert Lewandowski has a hamstring problem in his left thigh," the club said in a statement, without specifying how long the Polish striker would be out of action.
