Rashford transferred to Barcelona and was called up to the national team

Marcus Rashford believes that his move from Manchester United to Barcelona has had a positive impact on his prospects with the England national team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

The 27-year-old footballer joined the Catalan club on loan in July. He managed to perform well at his new club and scored for the England national team for the first time in two years in September.

In a recent interview, when asked, "Did moving to Barcelona increase my chances of participating in the 2026 World Cup?" Rashford replied, "Yes, definitely. If I had stayed at Manchester United, I probably would not have been called up to the England national team."

Additionally, the England national team, which won today's match against Latvia (5:0), has secured early qualification for the upcoming World Cup. This success demonstrates the strong performance of the national team and the positive outcome of Rashford's activity at his new club.
