Gerard Pique A “ sent ” Marcus Rashford Stark warning of Barcelona Move after playing for Man Utd

Gerard Pique has already given Marcus Rashford an idea of what it is to play for Barcelona – and the former defender of Manchester United came to the same conclusion as Pep Guardiola.

Rashford landed in Catalonia on Sunday evening after receiving authorization from Manchester United to fill in the formalities of a loan of a season.

After an agreement agreed in principle during the weekend, Rashford joined the manager of Barcelona Hansi Flick and the sports director of Ciutat Esportiva Training Monday morning.

It should be presented on Wednesday to the Spanish media, according to BBC Sport.

Barcelona, on the other hand, agreed to cover in total of £ 325,000 per week of Rashford, and the agreement would also be included an option to buy for 35 million euros, which is equivalent to around 30.3 million pounds sterling.

It is a dream come true for the attacker born in Wythenshawe, who has already said that he would like to play alongside the teenage sensation Lamine Yamal at Camp Nou.

Asked about the prospect of playing alongside Yamal in an interview with the Spanish influencer Javi Ruiz last month, Rashford said: “Yes, that’s for sure, everyone wants to play with the best. I hope … We will see.”

One thing is certain; The pressure to play for such a large club like Barcelona is higher than most.

In fact, former defender Gerard Pique – who also played for Manchester United between 2004 and 2008 – explained once why play for the Catalan team was not like the others.

Speaking at a press conference in 2019, Pique said: “There is no club in the world that plays with as much pressure as Barcelona. If we don’t win a triple, people think it’s a bad season.”

Pep Guardiola, who appreciated a spell charged with trophy with undoubtedly the largest Barcelona team of all time, also said that the expectations accompanied by representation of the Spanish giants are beyond those of Manchester City and Bayern Munich.

Speaking at a press conference in 2017, he said: “More pressure here (at City)? No. The greatest pressure was in Barcelona. You cannot compare the pressure in Barcelona and Madrid in Munich or Manchester. Here, it’s less, much less.”

As mentioned above, Rashford should be unveiled on Wednesday as a Barcelona player and will probably appear during their pre-season trip to Asia, where they will face Vissel Kobe in Japan, followed by two games in South Korea against Daegu FC and FC Seoul.
