Rashford 'feels at home' at Barcelona

BARCELONA - England forward Marcus Rashford said Barcelona are a club where "dreams come true", as he joined the La Liga champions on July 23 on a season-long loan from Manchester United with an option to buy.

Media reports said that Barcelona would cover the 27-year-old's wages this coming season after he accepted a pay cut, with the option to buy set at around €30 million (S$45 million).

"Very excited, I think it's a club where people's dreams come true. They win big prizes, and what the club stands for really means a lot to me as well. So it feels like I am at home," Rashford said at his unveiling.
