Marcus Rashford has wasted no time making his mark at Barcelona and has now set himself an ambitious goal involvement target for the season.
The 26-year-old, on loan from Manchester United, has already contributed six goal involvements in his first nine appearances under Hansi Flick, scoring twice and providing four assists across La Liga and the Champions League.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Rashford’s goal is to be directly involved in 30 to 40 goals this campaign. His six contributions already account for 25% of Barcelona’s total goals so far, putting him level with Ferran Torres as the team’s joint-most productive attacker.
Rashford’s early impact has highlighted his adaptability and growing influence in Flick’s setup. The England international has built strong chemistry with Ferran Torres and Dani Olmo, while consistently providing a cutting edge in transition and the final third.
His two goals against Newcastle and assists against Paris Saint-Germain, Getafe, Real Oviedo and Real Sociedad underline his ability to deliver in high-pressure moments. Rashford has also ranked among the squad’s best for shots, dribbles and chance creation.

With Barcelona competing on multiple fronts, Flick will look to the winger’s blend of pace, creativity and end product to keep driving the team forward. If he maintains his current rate, Rashford could hit his ambitious target well before the end of the season.
